why PHP is used more for web development when same can be achived by Python in same way?

Question

python and PHP as same relevance not like its .net based.

Answer 1

PHP has a very C-like syntax. Anyone who has been exposed to a C-like language gets it straight away. Curly braces and semi-colons work exactly as you'd expect and it feels familiar.

Python isn't that easy. Making white space significant instead of using curly braces requires some adjustment to how you think about your code. This change will slow down people who have just switched to Python.

PHP often feels like it's designed purely for creating Web pages, even if some people use it for other tasks. By default it's really an HTML template with code inserted in. Python, on the other hand, stands on its own two feet as a general purpose language. Programming for the web in Python involves choosing one of the web framework that gives you the functionality you want. If you're coding something different, however, it doesn't feel like you are working against the purpose of the language, specially as you can often use other general-purpose frameworks.
