In fact, PHP and Python, both have become the most popular web development languages because of project budgeting and other development considerations. Today, these two languages are most popularly used across the world on the internet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">It is often seen that beginners face many challenges as compared to experienced developers as they have a very different set of requirements. However, seasoned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/hire\/software-developers?utm_source=pixel%2Bmj%2Bphvsphp&amp;utm_medium=pixel%2Bmj%2Bphvsphp&amp;utm_campaign=pixel%2Bmj%2Bphvsphp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">software developers<\/a> don&#8217;t panic into picking up a new language. On the other hand, beginners have trouble due to two related battles. First, they need to learn the programming constructs and then understand how to implement these constructs in any programming language of the given choice. Moreover, they need to have expertise in syntax which often makes no sense to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">A big issue exists due to the bias of experienced web developers. If you talk to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/hire\/python-developers?utm_source=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp&amp;utm_medium=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp&amp;utm_campaign=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Python web programmer<\/a>, he will provide you with all the best things you could do with this language. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">At the same time, if you talk to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/hire\/php-developers?utm_source=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp&amp;utm_medium=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp&amp;utm_campaign=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PHP web developer<\/a>, they will also tell you the same thing that there is no other language that exist better than PHP. Only a few developers will actually have good things to say about the programming languages they don&#8217;t use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">So, you should avoid mentioning the pros and cons of both Python and PHP. In this blog, we have discussed the three main areas which beginners must consider while selecting the first programming language. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">After reading this blog, you will have a clear idea of where go for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/web-development\/php-web-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PHP web development<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/web-development\/python-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Python web development<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Get well-balanced, experienced and scalable hand-picked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/services\/dedicated-teams?utm_source=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp&amp;utm_medium=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp&amp;utm_campaign=pixel%2Bmj%2Bpyvsphp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dedicated software development <\/a>teams from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PixelCrayons<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Python_vs_PHP_Framework_Usage_Statistics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Python vs PHP: Framework Usage Statistics<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Statistics for websites using Programming Language technologies:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8088 size-full\" title=\"Python vs PHP\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Framework-technologies-Web-Usage-Statistics.png.webp\" alt=\"Python vs PHP\" width=\"644\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Framework-technologies-Web-Usage-Statistics.png.webp 644w, https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Framework-technologies-Web-Usage-Statistics-300x203.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Check out here these three main areas in the context of Python vs PHP:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><b>1) CMS and Frameworks<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">A framework can be defined as a community that contributed and maintained a compilation of code which allows web developers to quickly develop web applications instead of building everything from scratch. For adding specific functionality to an app, a typical framework gives you hundreds of functions. Developers could call these functions as per their requirements in order to add functionality to the application. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Python offers very powerful and versatile Python frameworks but the options in these frameworks are however limited. In fact, it offers a wide range of frameworks that performs the same function as PHP frameworks do. Flask and Django are two popular options that Python developers use to create web applications. The number of Python frameworks is increasing slowly due to the increase of the language in the main projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">When it comes to PHP, it also offers a large number of frameworks. Developers use these frameworks for creating purposeful and industry-specific applications. PHP frameworks such as Symfony and Laravel empower popular applications that are used by millions of users. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/hire\/php-developers?utm_source=pixel%2Bmj%2Bphvsphp&amp;utm_medium=pixel%2Bmj%2Bphvsphp&amp;utm_campaign=pixel%2Bmj%2Bphvsphp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Expert PHP programmers<\/a> have the advantage of mature frameworks that are maintained by an enthusiastic community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>For CMS:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">A CMS is a software platform that offers a flexible solution for projects. Whether it&#8217;s a simple blog, an e-commerce store or a corporate portal, CMS offers a comprehensive solution that ensures that developers and end-users can focus on the business case instead of building the platform from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In fact, the most popular CMS i.e. WordPress itself is built using PHP. Another leading open source e-commerce platform, WooCommerce, and Magento are also built in PHP. However, Python provides a range of Django powered CMS which are having a limited following. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">So we can see that PHP is a clear winner because it has something for everyone. In many cases, PHP offers more versatile options in both CMS and frameworks that match the specifications of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8090 size-full\" title=\"Python vs PHP\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PHP-Usage-Statistics.png.webp\" alt=\"Python vs PHP\" width=\"653\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PHP-Usage-Statistics.png.webp 653w, https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PHP-Usage-Statistics-300x182.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><b>2) Popularity<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">There is no doubt that both PHP and Python are the most popular languages today. Even when these languages do not drive a project, the project managers and the client consider them. At the moment, PHP overwhelmingly dominates the Internet with more than approx. 80% of the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Read More-\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/dedicated-teams\/vue-js-vs-react-which-is-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vue.js vs React: Which is Best<\/a>?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">PHP powers various popular websites including Yahoo, Wikipedia, Flickr, and Tumblr. At very first, Facebook was completely powered with PHP. Since then, the giant of social media networks has made the transition to a PHP framework that incorporates all the features that Facebook developers need for the development of platforms and applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Python web development actually gained the popular status when Google chose it for powering some of its well-known projects. Since then this trend prevailed and now various industry giants such as Reddit, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, and Spotify use this language in their product platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">However, this alone cannot decide which platform is the best for web development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">So, with these parameters, we can say that both Python and PHP are giving neck to neck competition in the popularity contest. These languages are used to launch many new projects daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8090 size-full\" title=\"Python vs PHP\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PHP-Usage-Statistics.png.webp\" alt=\"Python vs PHP\" width=\"653\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PHP-Usage-Statistics.png.webp 653w, https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/PHP-Usage-Statistics-300x182.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><b>3) Learning Curve<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The learning curve is the major concern of this blog. It is the measurement of acquiring a particular language. In the case of web programming language, the learning curve signifies how much you have become fluent in syntax and using the tools which are used to translate the web design into functional code. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In this case, Python wins over the PHP language. For beginners, Python is much more easy to understand and more readable than PHP. In fact, PHP is not meant for new users since it has little room for mistakes done by a newbie and has rules which are much tough. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">However, Python has room for mistakes especially in formatting and the code doesn&#8217;t break because of small mistakes. This is a great encouragement for a beginner. This is the reason why many CS schools around the world now opt for Python as the strong language in which to teach the basics of programming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">PHP community, however, has put a lot of effort into making things easy and beginner-friendly. PHP experts are trying all possible ways like tutorials, courses, etc. in order to make it an easy language which is as easy to understand as Python.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelcrayons.com\/blog\/dedicated-teams\/python-for-business-analytics\/\">Python for Business Analytics<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_line\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><b>Bottom line<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">It could be a difficult decision when it comes to choosing the first programming language to use for your web development project. The decision becomes more complex when both contenders PHP and Python are worth to gain your attention. Both languages offer many learning opportunities in the form of easy-to-use syntax validation tools and training projects that facilitate the learning process and allow a solid foundation of language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">We recommend to try out both the languages and then use one which suits best to you as per your project&#8217;s requirements. Lastly, PHP is good for better job prospects and technical resources while Python is easiest among two to acquire for the project.
