Perl V.s. Php PHP vs PERL : Comparision of PHP PERL

[pikaz 0]

Now I've always wanted to make a web game. Now I have time. I keep getting suggested both php and perl. I know alot about php and stuff. but I hardly know anything about perl .So what would (if anything) make perl better than php when programming a web game?

Either perl or php is good enough for a web game.Whichever language you're most comfortable with is the best language to use.Good luck.

Another deciding factor is how your webhost handles each. The one I currently use, Tripod, only allows CGI. I wouldn't use it to make a game, however, because they will only run a script for a couple seconds. Hunt around for games made in both to base your decision off of. To see what CGI is capacble of, check out Lunatix Online: http://www.lunatix-online.com/ .

PHP is mostly supported by webhosts so I would suggest php in place of perl but then if you get a host that supports perl then its cool too.

Mainly there's no difference between Perl and PHP, due to the fact that both are server-side scripting languages. The main feature of PHP is his high portability, this means that PHP could be used for a lot of things (eg. SQL); Perl is mainly used FSO (For Scripting Only) .Anyway, I had lot of fun programming in Perl and I really love it as a scripting language. So, my final suggestion is: Perl for life :PIf you need help, feel free to contact me at:gengarel <at> cs.unibo.it

i think that there is a huge support for php and its rapidly increasing that why i prefer php on perl.

I definitely go with PHP ,there is no valid reason ,but i never used the Pearl language so i have no idea regarding the Pearl. I learn PHP a lot and one good thing about the PHP is that lot of free php scripts are avaliable and you can use in your project and even in Free Pearl script are available but are lesser than the PHP Script.Second would be PHP is a pure Web language and indeed a very powerful language.

Php > Perl because if you are confused(which im guessing you are) you will find tons more support for php scripting then you would perl is mainly FSO PHP pages are constructed like HTML pages with standard HTML markup PHP code is inserted into the page and executed when the page is requested Conversely Perl scripts are run as stand-alone programs and create HTML pages when the script is run and php is faster than perl

Hello,PHP is the good option for developing gaming websites. With Perl you will find some difficulties. PHP is the latest language you have more features for developing websites. PHP simple code for connecting source code with database is very easy. Whereas Perl coding is little tough to understand. Lots of help available on internet will help you in developing gaming website. If you are using windows operating system then I would suggest you to download Xampp this is free on the internet. Once you download this software you will be able to make PHP websites. Perl is not the bad option you can opt for making applications.
