Choosing between PHP or Java to use
<p>I'm having trouble choosing between PHP or Java to develop a fairly small web application for a school project.</p>

<p>Our project is to create a very crude/working/barebones ticket and events management system. Think of the basic functionality of Ticketmaster.</p>

<p>I have people in my team who are confident with Java but not ALL. Would it be better to choose PHP due to its small learning curve?</p>

<p>Obviously the standard things like speed and security wont matter since this is a project. We want the coding/debugging to be easier.</p>

<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> At the end of the project we'll have to demonstrate our web app using our laptop, so no distribution etc is required. Our goal is: as long as it works and ensures it. It doesn't have to work well, it doesn't have to use super efficient code (we are not marked by our code).</p>
