Generally speaking, PHP is a scripting language. Scripting languages are
great for one-off projects and small programs, but become unwieldy in
big applications, larger than a few thousand lines. For larger projects,
I would suggest Java, which has strict typing and encourages
object-oriented programming and modularization.
