The topic really interested me in Quora as developers from both groups defended their tools. Before developing a system, you must select the best tools to use. Have in mind the effects of each, both the advantages and disadvantages.

Don’t be too choosy. Each tool was created for a specific purpose. What you might accomplish with PHP might or might not happen with Django. But both are server languages. I have never touched PHP because of the negative talks from people. But from the compilation I have made, here is my reason why I would rather work with Django than PHP.

Easier Integration with AI, DS, and ML projects

Of course, we are living in the world of AI where people are developing projects using artificial intelligence. Machine learning technology is trending daily. Since the most common language used is Python, it becomes easier to integrate with that application. Django as a python framework makes the work look much simpler than you might work with PHP.

Security

Many people have abandoned the use of WordPress because they have a PHP backend. The language has leaked and is most of the time prone to hackers. Django comes with strong built-in security. This is a rare case where you will hear about a leak in the Django server application

Django is easier to Learn

Yes, both PHP and Python are easier to understand when you dedicate your maximum time to them. Python syntax is much easier to read and understand. While in a rush for server language, opt to pick python Django. If you have the basics of python, it will be much simpler.

Django is faster than PHP

Python is powerful in general. So it can be used for complex projects, with its numerous libraries. It’s faster when developing a site and also the running time. If you are new to server language, kindly work with Django. But when it comes to deployment, things turn out different. I would rather advise you to stick to what you have been doing if you ever worked with PHP. Django calls upon a specific environment in order to run.

Time management

If you want to build a web application quickly and deploy it, then Django might be your best choice. Although you might face a variety of problems, that is common to almost everyone. Are you comfortable using Django, then come solve problems as fast as possible?

Handle complex tasks

This is an attribute related to the vast community of python Django. The framework keeps growing daily as new packages are added. Python is a memory efficient language that takes up less space.

Although the comparison might sound biased, the fact remain we can’t compare Django with PHP. One is a framework while the php is programming language. However, both can build awesome backend servers. Have a tool then dig deeper to understand what it can do.

All the same, AI projects are the most popular technologies. This means Django will have space to exist in the coming years.
