Advantages of using PHP over Python, for large scale web projects:
- type hinting
- privates, protected keywords, final methods
- interfaces and abstract classes (and traits)
- constants/defines
- methods are not properties!!!
- consistent foreach usage (for both lists and dictionaries)
- you can't read globals from a function scope without using global keyword so accidental masking will be avoided
Some advantages of Python:
- reliable package system
- decorators
- class methods
- strong duck-typing; for example you cannot concatenate an integer to a string
- a portable alternative to shell scripts
