OT: Java vs PHP

[Bryan O'Neal]

The question I have is what you are doing. If it is small with few hits and
non stateful data use PHP or even rails. If you are doing an massively
scaled ecommerce site then you use java. It is a matter of which does what
better.  As for the individual thinking java was client side, I suggest
that perhaps you are thinking java script not java. Java is server side and
processed tomcat or jboss.
Personal I like java :)
