I don't know of an external which adds PHP support inside of Pd. If you are talking about which programming language to choose outside of Pd: I'd choose whatever you feel most comfortable with. Of course one could debate which language is the "better" language, Lua or PHP, but I think, this would be very off-topic here.
Of course, I selected that with which I am more at ease. :) In fact, i just want to know if Lua is as at ease as PHP with
Internet, string operation and MySQL. Lua is well implemented in PD, so i think it's not very off-topic here !Yeah, I meant the more general discussion if Lua altogether is "better" than PHP would be off-topic. Until PHP is available in Pd, the choice between Lua and PHP inside of Pd is easy.
Oh, and if you're only interested in speed: The Language Shootout shows Lua as generally being roughly twice as fast and memory friendly than PHP in most cases: http://tinyurl.com/ypgvnf
Lua is 13 times slower than C++, PHP is 23 times slower. (Tcl there is 44 times slower ...)
