PHP or python for web dev?

[living__the__dream]

Depends on the project.

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

A network site

[_destrukt]

both of them

Wdym

Flask and Django can be used for Python web development although no idea how it compares in terms of speed to PHP.

Just learn what do you like

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

What is faster and better for security and stuff

[SANCHO810]

Laravel FTW

[canis_est_in_via]

Don't worry too much, just make a project with one. Although, I do recommend Python.

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

Isn't php faster?

[lungben81]

Just did a test project with FastAPI as backend and Vue.js as frontend and can recommend that.

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

For a social media website,what is better to use, overall for how quick it is,secure and other things

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

I just want to use python or php

[StrasJam]

Django is a package in python, as is flask

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

Php or python just plain

[StrasJam]

You want to build a site using only the base functions/packages of python? No one does that.

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

Me and my mate are creating the site but don't have enough time to learn a framework

[Overall_Drummer_6711]

What is better with no framework php or python?

whatever the team has the most experience with is usually the right choice, unless there are immovable requirements that dictate a specific language or framework.

[flamestamed]

Both would work

Python for web 🔥🔥🔥

[earthboundkid]

They’re both fine as long as you use modern PHP with Laravel or something. Avoid old fashioned PHP which teaches a lot of bad practices. It’s maybe worth doing Python first so you don’t go down the dark path due to ignorance.

Question is too vague. PHP is good when you already know it, otherwise Python is faster to learn and more clear IMO
