Answer 1

php = old, bad design, looks ugly, used in a lot of old servers, arbitrary rules and exceptions to rules, forgiving of bad code writing

python = easy to learn, okish design, fast to write, looks good, slow running, a jack of all trades master of none, has two versions so that sucks

php might have more job opportunity though, not sure

Answer 2

PHP is, one of most popular web scripting language designed by Rasmus Lerdorf, a powerful tool to create dynamic and interactive websites. It is fast, flexible, widely-used scripting language for everything from a simple blog to the most popular and dynamic websites throughout the world. It has large community of users and developers base.

Python, written by Guido van Rossumas, is a general purpose programming high level language design for programmers to express concepts with fewer lines of code. The elegant design and syntax rules of this programming language make it quite readable even among the multi-programmer development teams. It supports multiple ways of building the structure and elements of computer programs, including object-oriented and functional programming.

Choice of language depends upon the career orientation and job prospective.
