I voted php because it is VERY FAST and easy to code. But the flaws include security issues ect.

PHP, easy to learn and allows seemless integration into webpages.

EH, I wouldn't call C/C++ a "scripting language".
And you didn't state for which purpose...

I'm assuming that it is referring to languages on the web (ie: CGI, etc) which C/C++ can be used for.

It isn't really a scripting language, but can still be used as CGI.

Anyway, my favourite language is PHP because it's the most versatile and easiest to use.

I write my cgi programs in C. And when I need a database, I create my own.

But that's what you get when you care about performance. ;)

It's ASP for me... started with BASIC v1.0 when I was 8 on an Amstrad CPC 464 and been using a variant ever since.

PHP for its sheer ease of use. Previously Perl (before PHP3 became generally available).

I used to use Perl for CGI stuff a long time ago, but now I've switched to PHP for the most part. I still use Perl for non-Web stuff though. :D

I am still in the process of learning PHP. I just dont have much time to set down and learn it.
