    Is Python much better than PHP? Is Python suitable to build a large web application? From looking at Python, it seems great for small scripts. But not to build a massive web application like a scheduling app or a CRM.

      All big massive applications are made up of smaller parts / scripts that need to work together. The smaller a part (partitioning an application), the easier it is to understand and build; but only as small as it needs to be.

        No, Python is not better than PHP, but nor is PHP better than Python; they are just different. If you want to give Python a try for web development then take a look at Welcome to Flask — Flask Documentation (2.2.x)[^] and Django overview | Django[^].

          Python is useful for system scripting, Hire Offshore Developers For App And Web Development Needs -QServices[^]web development, and software development. Since it has advantages like support for various platforms, the capacity to operate on an interpreter, and English-like syntax, it is a favorite of many programmers and data scientists.

          Although Python has a wide range of applications, the most common ones involve building online applications, reading from and editing databases, analyzing large amounts of data, and doing sophisticated mathematical calculations.

          Hypertext Pre-processor, also known as PHP, was developed in 1994 by Danish-Canadian programmer Rasmus Lerdorf. PHP is a popular open-source programming language. PHP has the ability to create, open, read, write, remove, and close files on the server in addition to producing dynamic page content. Additionally, it has the ability to transmit and receive cookies, as well as collect form data.

          PHP can also add, delete, and alter data in the database and is database friendly. It can also be used to encrypt data and restrict user access.

            Both Python and PHP are popular programming languages that are commonly used for web development. Python is a general-purpose language, while PHP is designed specifically for web development. Each language has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between the two ultimately depends on the specific requirements of the project. Python is a versatile language that can be used for a wide range of applications, including web development. It has a large library of tools and frameworks that make it well-suited for building web applications. Some popular Python web frameworks include Django, Flask, and Pyramid. Python is also known for its ease of use, readability, and scalability. It is suitable for building large-scale web applications, and many companies, including Google, Dropbox, and Instagram, have built their web applications using Python. In contrast, PHP is often used for smaller projects, such as simple websites or small web applications. However, it is still a popular choice for web development and has a large community of developers and resources available. In summary, both Python and PHP have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between the two depends on the specific needs of the project. If you are interested in learning Python for web development, there are many python online coursespython online courses available to help you get started.

              Both Python and PHP are popular programming languages that are widely used in web development. Each language has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of language depends on the specific requirements of the project.

              Python is a high-level, general-purpose language that is known for its simplicity, readability, and ease of use. It has a large standard library and many third-party libraries, making it a versatile language that can be used for a wide range of applications. Python is well-suited for building large web applications, and it is often used for complex web development projects.

              PHP, on the other hand, is a server-side scripting language that is specifically designed for web development. It is optimized for web development tasks and is often used in conjunction with popular web frameworks like Laravel and Symfony. PHP is a popular choice for building dynamic websites and web applications.

              Both Python and PHP have their own unique strengths, and the choice of language depends on the specific requirements of the project. If you are building a large web application like a scheduling app or a CRM, Python would be a suitable choice. Python has many web frameworks like Django, Flask, and Pyramid that can help you build a scalable, robust web application.

              In conclusion, while Python may be known for its simplicity and small scripts, it is also well-suited for building large, complex web applications. The choice of language ultimately depends on the specific needs of the project, and both Python and PHP have their own strengths and weaknesses that make them suitable for different types of web development projects.
