I was forced to migrate to PHP since that is what appears to be selling for 9ja and i hav not regretted it! At one time it was perl/asp in the early days at least in the web world.

it is not a matter of what is selling in nigeria. it is a matter of using the right technology for the right job.

will you use PHP to develop an ETL batch program software ?

I don't even know what an ETL batch program software is and I don't want to go to wikipedia or google to find out but let us do it this way - tell me what ETL batch program software is and what it does and I will tell you if you can use PHP to develop one.

Trust me programming is all about logic and manipulation of data especially based on conditional statements or instructions.

ok Afam i don't want to start a PHP war here o  Cheesy.

all i was just sayin was that you can't use PHP for every software development project. I can explain what ETL means and site various other examples and scenerios where PHP in inadequate but i am just too lazy to start another unneccessary argument.  Wink

Excellent response.

This is not about PHP war or unnecessary argument. It is about justifying a statement.

PHP cannot be used for every software development project or it should not be used for every software development project?

Is there a programming language you believe should be used for every software development project?

Though PHP was developed for the web I have used it to develop desktop software for an oil servicing firm who used and dumped some off the shelf solutions built by other programming language.

In my opinion, it is more about the skills, understanding and experience necessary to turn basic and complex processes into software.

i understand and agree 100% with your point.

I just feel that certain languagues make certain kinds of problem easier to solve than others.

There is a reason why people don't use Fortran or C++ to develop web sites

and there is probably a reason why people will use .Net instead of Java to develop a Windows desktop application

People have gradually turned this to PHP issue.  I think we need to answer the original poster's question.  And that will require some knowledge of what sofware solution(s) have a BRIGHTER PROSPECT in Nigeria, and then what tool is the best to learn to put him in a state where he can compete for job opportunit(ies) that may come from such. He has scoped the question that way I believe.

PHP is best at what it does best. Simple.
