Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of two web applications implemented in PHP and Python. Test applications were created and equipped with the same functionality used in tests consisting in measuring the server response times to INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE requests - handling database operations. The purpose of the research was to compare both languages in terms of selected criteria. Their performance, source code volume and popularity were compared.
