PHP compared to C++

[Nik]

They are pretty much alike!!

If i know C++ can i do everything i know with it to create php scripts? Its very similar! And also phps compilation produced to the browser so i think we have c++ power not produced in dos but in browser for anybody to see!

Pls correct me if iam wrong!

Yes and no.

PHP is from the C language. So is C++ C++ is just a C extention.

Basically there are some functions you'll need to learn and it will be hard just like C++. But you should learn a lot faster than someone with no programming knowledge.

Depends on what you are trying to acomplish. They are similar, but not interchangeable.
