I prefer PHP because it is very simple to use and easy learn. It has great user friendly features and best way to develop a attractive website.

i don't know jarva. maybe what you mean is java, js, or jsp.... i don't know.
java is different to javascript (js) and also different to jsp.

if you talk about database, php is the most used worldwide rather than asp and jsp.

There are times if I could apparatus something that Java would be bigger for, or in actuality area alone Java will do the task, but it is actual attenuate in my case and I artlessly plan about it with PHP or sometimes CSS.

Very true, but that issue is

Very true, but that issue is not with the language, it's with the developer. Applications are only as secure and organized as the developer makes it.

Frameworks IMO help give newbie developers more guidelines to follow and help them to develop good habits early.

I've seen many books and on-line tutorials that introduce PHP, show how easy it is and then go advanced by sticking a pile of SQL into the page code.

OK, so that's a problem with the book, not with PHP in general. I've seen equally bad (or worse) books for Java.

pr0gr4mm3r,
as to your three points, all I can say is:-

I didn't know a great deal about PHP. I know a lot more now having Googled some of the things you said.

I would say though that because PHP is simple to learn if you don't jump into using frameworks, people risk learning badly. I've seen many books and on-line tutorials that introduce PHP, show how easy it is and then go advanced by sticking a pile of SQL into the page code. Or creating a nice looking page by sticking loads of image fragments in between dynamically generated HTML.
It can quickly end up very messy for the developers, especially if you have separate disciplines like graphics people and database architects.

It breaks the Model /View

It breaks the Model /View /Controller paradigm and you end up in a grand mess with SQL, HTML, text, PHP, passwords and general crap all in one place

False. There are several frameworks that use the MVC approach - Codeigniter, Zend Framework, and CakePHP just to name a few.

Plus, it's an incomplete language as it can't draw anything.

False again. Someone isn't doing their homework.

If you want a couple of pages to display the current time, then I guess PHP is okay, but for any new (non trivial) project I recommend Java with a web framework such as Spring, Struts, Java Server Faces etc.

False. (Although this one is more like an opinion.) There are several large sites that run PHP (I know of plenty). Plus, there are countless PHP projects and software solutions out there, like Wordpress, phpBB, Drupal....

I know I am sounding blunt and possibly rude, but everything you said about PHP was not true, so you need to brush up on your PHP skills before you can argue against it.

Personally, I try my hardest

Personally, I try my hardest to not touch javascript. Browsers don't really understand it properly without having to code for individual ones. Also I don't like php. I think that it's for beginners really. It breaks the Model /View /Controller paradigm and you end up in a grand mess with SQL, HTML, text, PHP, passwords and general crap all in one place. Plus, it's an incomplete language as it can't draw anything.
