I much prefer coding in PHP and haven't really bothered coding in PERL/CGI at all mainly because it is simpler (IMO)

Also, the majority of applications are now coded in PHP - meaning if I use existing off-the-shelf scripts, I am more likely to use PHP.

In fact, the reasons why I use PHP are covered here!

Which do you tend to use and why?

PHP. Perl and CGI are a lot more difficult. I use to program only using PERL several years ago and then a friend convinced me to learn PHP. I haven't went back since.

I've seen the code for both PHP and Perl, and PHP is better, hands down. I know a site that is coded completely in Perl, and I wouldn't have known it was Perl or PHP if someone asked me. So what's the point of learning a harder language if no one can tell the difference?
