Hi Steve

There are a few different ways for server side coding, like PHP and ColdFusion. I have tried a few of these coding languages at uni and i must say PHP is the best in my opinion. PHP is pretty easy to learn.

There is plenty of help on the internet and you will get plenty of help in this forum. I started with PHP and MySQL about 18 months ago and Ned storm in this forum gave me a lot of help. Not only How to fix the code but where and how to get to the correct coding.

I would say PHP is the most common coding language.

I hope this helps.

I don't think that C++ is used much for web programming unless it is for a corporate server.

Not many folks use Java either IMO.

I guess they might if they are coding for a financial institution?

Also, I don't agree that they are so easy to master due to the strict object-based structure which many people find confusing unless they know no other way.

PHP is the easiest by far IMO.

Here is the "hello world" code for Java:

Code:

public class HelloWorld {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
       System.out.println("Hello, world!");
   }
}

And for PHP:

PHP Code:

echo "Hello, world!\n";
