PHP V. Java by Psyop 2005-05-04 04:30:37
I am setting up an Intranet for approx 100 users. As the user base is small, the turn around time for new applications is small, and my one on-site developer is a wiz at it, I picked PHP as having the best bang for the buck.

I am receiving unexpected static from some; ok one, of the programming managers. He is pushing Java. I have no problem with Java but the arguments he is using seem a bit suspect to me. Can anybody give me a bit of insight into the following?

PHP has no built in user security or session management

PHP has no built in support for sessions or user security

PHP Can scale only to a point, after which expansion and maintenance becomes expensive

I have not used PHP (went the old management track and can no longer pretend to be a developer) but this sounds fairly unsound. Any advice welcome.
