Servlets and JSPs or PHP

[PrinceVegeta]

Hey WebDevelopers..
I was searching for help with my web project and I came across this webdeveloper.com
I was wondering how I did not know it all the time it fantastic

Okay..I'll get to the point
I'm supposed to submit a project for my graduation final year(Computer Sciences)
I've decided that I am making a web application
Which technology should I use JSPs and Servlets or PHP
I've basic and equal knowledge of each tech.

Which one is better?
I've heard that companies look for J2EE in a fresher's resume..Is it true?

You'll only get biased answers on this forum. My biased opinion, which I think is probably the majority of opinions on this website, is go with PHP. I think it has more practical application (at least nowadays - 5 years I think ruby on rails could really overtake it).

You'll probably get a couple of answers that say JSP, a lot of answers that say PHP, but keep in mind, do whatever you can do the best (or, perhaps most importantly, what you're most interested in), and you'll be satisfied with the end result.....

Sorry for the political answer :D

Most likely either can do the job in a fairly equivalent manner. PHP will have the edge in portability, if that has any bearing on your choice. JSP will likely be a bit more impressive to Fortune 100 IT managers (as would C#/.NET), if that is important to you, though I think PHP (especially 5.3.x) is making more inroads there than it used to.
