I agree, i think java is better suited to its original use I.E. desktop programming, PHP (in my optinion) was and is a web scripting language from conception hence why there was no native support for OOP and the support we have now had to be added later, where-as java is fully OOP aware because it has to contend with langauges such as C++.

I dunno really i have never used Java in a web scripting role before (only ever briefly used it for desktop programming) so i may be wrong.
