Which web scripting language is ideal for generating dynamic content on a webpage
from files on the server? I'm currently in the process of revamping a website, and I was hoping for some input (pros/cons?) on which web scripting language to use. I have been considering PHP, but I'd like to find out if there's anything that might be "better."
I'd like to have "dynamic content" on the pages by having a script check through all of the files within a directory, parse through them to organize the information, and filling the content on the page. Unfortunately, I don't know details in terms of the web server being used, but I can find out if that factors into the problem.
I'm under the impression that making the switch to having webpages script-generated will streamline the process significantly. I'm also hoping that it will make it easier for others to update in the future (since they could just follow a template for a file instead of digging through HTML).
FYI - I'm a complete newbie to web scripting (am much more familiar with OO/procedural languages), so I'm open to any ideas.
