Which is best python vs php?

Question

which is the best script language for web development(backend)?

Answer 1

80-90% of backends are done in PHP. Java has the capacity for web applets but aren't as efficient to get a web app fully operational in a quick turnaround time. That's why php is more popular. Large scale apps use other options like node.js or something but that's usually for a larger application or if you plan to scale up to handle that amount of data and users.

Answer 2

Java for web backends. Depends on your application, but most web backend development is done using Java.
