If we think of programming as flying, then we can think of PHP as a hang
glider and Java EE as a commercial jet airliner.

I wouldn't want to leap off a cliff hanging on to the landing gear of a Boeing
747.

Nor would I want to fly a couple of hundred people across an ocean in a hang
glider.

The languages have fundamentally different philosophies and programming
models. It's like comparing Apples and PCs.
