Is it better to learn c++ or php?

If you want to learn PHP, and make big websites by yourself then you need to have some SQL skills, javascript skills, HTML, CSS, and so on.
And use pay for webhosts/domains. (Good ones.) And also, an internet connection is required most of the time when coding PHP.
Compared to C++ when you just start coding, and code whatever program you want.
But you feel miserable coding C++ because of the difficulty, it'll take a tremendous amount of effort to code things.
I'm just wondering, what do you guys think a person should learn?
The big money makers are with web development but C++ is pretty good too, and not many people even have the guts to ATTEMPT to code C++.
And I don't know how much money you can make with C++. Technology is getting more mobile, meaning more tablets/iphones.
You can navigate to websites on mobile devices.
But the appstore only allows you to make apps in objective-C, and the google play only accepts java.
So, how do I know that laptops/desktops won't be obsolete by time I actually get good in C++?

Start:
You can learn Qbasic http://www.qb64.net/ and be fine

Once you learn one language you pretty much can do them all. It's about understanding what you're doing not about how you're doing it that is important. All languages follow basically the same logic.

How do you know there will still be tablets and smart phones by the time you get good at java…

How do you know that php won't be replaced with WTF…

New languages are being created every day… So… Goto start

The central issue is that you're addressing the wrong question.

"Hammer or screwdriver, hammer or screwdriver, which should I become expert with? Nails are cheaper than screws, but screws are easier to use because electric screw drivers are so cheap now. Unless you have a pneumatic nail gun, or need to drive a nail into a concrete foundation with a nail driver… "

You need to decide what application area you want to be in. Where you want to be will determine what tools you will need next.

If you want to work with electronics, hammers and nails aren't going to help you much. If you want to do PHP web development, you can just deploy a WAMP or LAMP stack on your personal laptop and use that as your portfolio in an interview.

Let what you want to do next determine what application development tool you learn next.

[and there's no "right answer" -- it's like anything else in life, at some point you just have to jump in, get dirty, and figure it out as you go along.]

PHP and C++ are 2 completely different languages and are use in very different ways. You will have to decide which one you want to learn. Here is the overview for the 2 languages.

PHP is server side web language meaning that it only works on the server you upload it to. It is then processed and returns the rest of the code without the HTML. No one else can see your PHP code except you when you view it from the server. It is true you can build a website alone in PHP but it is not recommended. Most web developers do not like using PHP because it slows your server down when processing a page. Most of them use AJAX to request a PHP script to process it during real time. PHP is much easier to learn than C++ and much easier to debug errors.

Unlike PHP, C++ is a computer programming language. It is much harder to learn and impossible to master. It has a huge range or functions and features that makes it very efficient and powerful like polymorphism and pointers. Also unlike PHP, C++ does not have a single data type that you can fit any value making converting between data types slow and painful for the programmer. Most games for PC are programmed in C++ because of the wonderful access to the DirectX library and because C++ is very efficient if you use it correctly.

If you are wondering about mobile applications for devices like iPhone or Android, then you are in a very unfriendly place. IOS uses Objective C while Android uses Java making application development for cross platform mobile devices very time consuming.

Ir's Depends on your field of interest. It requires knowledge of SQL, HTML, XHTML, Ajax, JQuery CSS, and now HTML 5 etc to develop a good website.lot of people are working in it, they have good jobs.

On the other hand, if you want to do a serious programming then C/C++ is better option,
not only Computers but you can work on Embedded Systems if you have knowledge of C/C++ and microprocessor.
Even Games like COD black ops uses C++

choose yourself.

Any1 of your choice. Both are very very strong programming language.
But learn one and be perfect on one. If you try to learn both it will be very hard to be perfect. So choose one and be perfect on it.

You should dabble in both and see which one feels better.
People who don't like their jobs much, are not happy people.
