Learning Programmer

Hi guys.

I've used PHP for quite a while on and off but never really touched the object oriented side of it.

After learning Java, C++ and loving the clean syntax's they provide, I've gone back to PHP and attempted to learn OOP.

The problem is, the syntax to me looks ugly. I can't stand the look of it.

Is there a good alternative to PHP in terms of web-scripting that is widely supported, available on free hosting, easy as the Wamp setup and provides good OO support.

Is Java an option, if not, what would you guys suggest?

You have several other choices. Perl, Ruby, and ASP are the three that are most popular.

Java does have a server version. You can also use C++ to code CGI based pages. ASP.NET is another option.

I'm not sure what your options will be as far as free/cheap hosting, however.

Programming is a branch of mathematics.
