java or PHP programing

The two are not exactly comparable. Javascript is an interpreted, client-side language (front end). All the code runs on the client side, and it is used mostly for User Interface features (the "J" in AJAX). Yahoo widgets are also written in a version of javascript, so you can learn it by writing widgets if you like. PHP is a preprocessed language on the server side (back end), used primarily for fetching data from databases to display to the user. (The "P" in LAMP) I would say since you already know some server-side code, go with the client-side javascript. Ultimately if you want to be a web developer, however, there's a need for both front-end and back-end. If you want to know which is in higher demand in your area, go to indeed.com or simplyhired.com and see how many job listings there are for each one. In my city, it's 127 javascript vs. 98 php listings on indeed.com

I use to programming with PHP.And I think PHP is very easy to learn and use. Java has many concepts and frameworks.That always confuse me.I prefer to use PHP the first language to enter the Web program.Because that Web program we should consider many other things like database,Cookie,Session,CSS,HTML,Javascript and so on.First you should learn how to run a data-based and well-looked web application,than you choose the language.

there is no comparison between java and php but if u ask about ur future secure then php is the best earning language now a days and it has birght future,,,,,, its quite easy to learn and if u earn more in php than java so first learn than earn :) :) ......
