A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I uncover it quite bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will surely come back once more. naturally like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts.

Just don't be a retard and search the current working directory like Python does.

The other division on typing is strong vs. weak and I think it's fair to say Python is strongly typed while PHP is weakly typed e.g.; Python; <code> $myInt = 4; print "The number is "+myInt; # Illegal interpolation print "The number is "+str(myInt); # Cast to string </code> PHP; <code> myInt = 4; print "The number is ".$myInt; </code> That works in PHP's favor when it comes to generating HTML while, at the same time, more effort is needed if you want to validate a submitted variable, to check it's an integer. Python generally feels "better rounded"; there are many things I'd love to see in PHP, import in particular plus things like <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-distutils.html">distutils</a> and the notion that everything is an object. At the same time think PHP's class syntax is preferable, hiding you from the fact that the interpreter really regards objects as glorified hashes while Python requires you specify the self reference inside a class. Also Python hasn't got databases nailed down yet, at least when it comes to using a DB to "drive" a website.

Python;

$myInt = 4;
print "The number is "+myInt; # Illegal interpolation

PHP;


myInt = 4;
