Don't know if anyone mentioned this argument yet but...
With PHP 4's Java support, you can take advantage of any
Java code you may have from your PHP scripts. Also, with
the Servlet feature you can run your PHP engine inside
any servlet container (e.g. Websphere, Tomcat). This
pretty much says to me that anything you can do with JSP
you can do with PHP. However, I'm not sure if the reverse
is true since you can't call out to PHP's built in functions from
JSP's (at least not yet).
