We use php as well. It could be a little hard to develop your own bitcoin client in php. But you may use json rpc to connect to running bitcoid server.

Well, you can always use Mark Karpeles PHP Bitcoin Library!!! Grin

It might be their Bitcoin site is better with Python. Or.. they wanted to get Google in (just a joke).

Anyway, I agree with @newIndia, most of the Bitcoin site I see was written in PHP. Well, SimpleMachineForum (this forums) is written in PHP too.

I think your choice of language depends on what problem you are trying to solve. A lot of sites in Bitcoin world are written in PHP as well...

I'm planning to help coding a bitcoin related website and I'm currently learning javascript & PHP.
I chose to not learn python, because I thought it was harder to learn and there was less stuff to find online.
But whenever i browse on this forum it seems, that most bitcoin related websites are actually made in python.
Is there a particular reason for this or is it just personal preference?
Would you advise me to switch and rather concentrate on python?
