What other language can I use instead of PHP? (For shared hosting)

[pranansubba]

I fell in love with php when I started to use Symfony.

[adeelali]

ever tried laravel ??? I hate php to its core but its not the same with laravel

[kamaboko]

I use PHP to create my own custom CMS’s. It’s relatively quick and easy to use in that regard, and every hosting site as far as I know uses PHP so it’s easy to implement. What I don’t like is PHP with frameworks like Laravel. It’s just a bloated, convoluted mess.

How did php become a program language when it's supposed to be a career based opportunity?

Hi Caleb, I've been learning JavaScript, HTML and CSS for the past 7 months. Now I've been learning PHP for the past 20 days and a bit of MySQL. All I hear PHP is used for is things like e-commerce sites such as WordPress and other similar sites. Can you use PHP and MySQL for other things when it comes to looking for a job. I choose PHP because I figured I could do a bit of freelance work, but my end goal is to become a software developer. I hear that being a WordPress developer could ruin your chances of becoming a true developer because you're not a real coder, someone told me. What is your opinion? I was thinking about maybe learn Laravel alongside PHP? Or should I just keep on learning JavaScript to find a software developer job like a web developer job.

I got that your problem with PHP is that it is not how you would like it to be.

[Venezuelangel]

I think you should have called your video "worst 3 programming languages (IMHO)".
Note: I just got a job working on PHP this week. I already hate its guts.

[bocckoka]

there are objective metrics to compare languages.

[alliouasofiane]

there is a bad programmer not a bad language, you will understand when you program with prolog and asm

[fidangill]

People develop a sentimental relation with a language. Happens with me. :p

[redcyberdragon]

don't let the haters get ya down!

[mariugomegiani]

Oh c'mon..people take it all too seriously..and honestly if they hear this or that, they should really check it out for themselves, rather than just assuming something. It's clearly your opinion..and I totally agree it sucks.. it's full of inconsistencies and in a world you clearly learn N languages for N purposes, those with similar syntaxes and all will definitely be 'the best'. I'm finishing my first year at uni, and all the languages I've learned make sense for a newcomer and in general if you think about it. Anyways, you make awesome content and have a very good speech, pace and tone. Good job!

If you want to TRAVEL THE WORLD then you must learn and practice ENGLISH.
But if you want to be "cool", the go learn some french or some other alien languages.
In the end what pays the bill is the thing that matter

I personally think PHP is fantastic. The people who wrote a bunch of shitty code and made it difficult for others, suck pretty badly.

PHP 7+ really has made some leaps over previous versions. Its getting better all of the time, and with frameworks like Laravel, a lot of the PHP code going online is readable, secure, and scale-able rather quickly.

Personally, I don't see the fuss with JS and associated frameworks. JS is fun an all, but it also has its own host of problems and issues that can be avoided by using PHP. Just for example, a lot of the customers for some industries cannot even use Javascript, just as a security measure. I try to avoid using any Javascript if I can.

Regardless of what you use, if you use proper coding techniques, document well, and exercise patience, you can achieve virtually the same thing with any programming language

I agree. I don't like php but I still use it, since 98.99% of small local businesses have their site on a shared hosting account its just easier to go in there and develop in php. Even if I prefer developing in python / flask/ django. Then again, "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". Let the haters make you famous!

[Gol_D_Roger_The_Pirate_King]

I don't use PHP at all. Wordpress developers not PROGRAMMERS are the ones who usually used PHP. But for my websites and projects I always used Node. For cheap websites used PHP for high end stuff used Node.

[spyrex]

bro for some reason i find PHP more complicated than C++ lmao

[donmikele]
