Recently I've taken to the approach of using PHP as the front end
application scripting language, and building out RESTful services
using java. This lets you take advantage of the best of both - PHP for
fast prototyping, and java for the 'heavy lifting' behind a REST
layer.
I was recently asked what my 3 biggest complaints were about PHP, and
one of them was not having an app container for a stateful service,
like some sort of PHP equivalent to jetty etc.
Watch out, statefulness can be a road to hell. The lack of state
in one of the reasons why PHP apps are trouble free. Cold Fusion,
ASP.NET, JSP and a lot of related environments tempt people to be
sloppy about state and these often create horrible problems.
