For those who think PHP is not now aiming to grow up to enterprise applications
"enterprise applications is not one the purposes of the languages mentioned as an alternative."
you obviously aren't following the new developments being bolted on to php for the upcoming php 5 or understanding where Zend wants to take it's 'Zend Engine' [read tomorrows 'Applicaton Server']
personally I use php every day and whilst it starts small, as the individual businesses (read web sites) grow, I can't help thinking what those developers could find tried and tested in enterprise level Java a viable altenative. Java does object orientation well and was designed this way from the ground up.
If you haven't tried Java or don't understand about encapsulation and think being modular is using include files then perhaps Java is not for you.
For those who've already found their favourite language then this discussion is moot - nothing will drag you away from it I think.
