Who is better ? PHP or JSP ?

I would say that it strongly depends on "better in what way"?

As a software engineer I would say that the JSP solution offers the
advantage of moving code to servlets. This opens the possibility to
include compiled code eliminating syntax errors. The code can make use
of all features known from good object oriented programming (typed
variables, a clear concept of inheritence, private operations and
variables). You can make use of a huge number of libraries available for
Java and have all IDEs at hand that support professional software
development.

I will not say that this might not be possible for and with PHP. But as
a programmer you need to be much more disciplined and developing in
groups is not equally supported.
