PHP is more of a "binding" language that takes advantage of many different coding practices and puts them together. PHP is not jealous and does not separate or shun itself from other languages and borrows many of the ideas, schemes, similar libraries, etc. from these other languages. And yet, it is completely unique in its own way. Its easy-to-learn, low-cost and cross-platform identity has made it very popular in recent years.
Perl is a great but is more of a mature language that has been around for the longest time and it doesn't have the same flexibility as PHP does on the web. You will find that PHP will far out-pace Perl coding, saving you both time and money. PHP works concurrently with free solution components such as Linux OS, Apache Web Server, MySQL Database and others (LAMP - Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP). These components all work together beautifully, yielding fast and stable applications. Invest some time into it and see what we mean. -----Original Message----- From: Syed Ghouse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 2:06 AM To: php mailinglists Subject: [PHP] what is difference between php and perl Hi all will anybody tell me the difference between perl and php Regards Syed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
