PHP is a language, not a web framework. Perhaps you meant CakePHP, the most common web framework for PHP?


Perhaps, but there's much more heterogeneity amongst PHP frameworks than Python or Ruby frameworks. For better or worse, Django and Rails are dominant in a way that Cake isn't. (Besides, all the cool kids moved to Kohana. We're not cool, as Dawdle is on this niche (read: dead) framework called Qcodo.)


Nope. As I've mentioned previously, PHP is a templating engine gone berserk. The language it's written in is C.
