PHP V. Java by Psyop2005-05-04 04:30:37

I don't know what you mean by 'user security', but PHP does have built in session management functionality.

> PHP Can scale only to a point, after which expansion and maintenance becomes expensive
No more or less so than Java. Admittedly, PHP has extra overhead in that the server has to interpret the script instead of interpreting bytecode (or even just machine code in the case of JIT), but there are php 'caches' that will tokenize the script once to save doing it with each hit. Both PHP and Java can be scaled to multi-node deployments in the same manner. Besides, with 100 users this is unlikely to be a problem.
