PHP and my Career Hi, I am an IT (BTech) Engg. graduate of 2005. I got my first job in PHP of worth Rs 4000/month. Recently some of my friends(who is also working in php for yrs) told me that PHP doesnt have any future. No big multinationals and fortune companies work on this language. Only freelance work is done in PHP. I have a good background in vb6 and vb.NET and I did many projects on both. But as I got the job in PHP, is it a problem if i want to shift to another company for a job which is not in PHP ? If yes , then am I heading towards a bad future in computer programming ? What should i do now ? continue in PHP as I am a fresher or i'll search for a .NET job(which is very difficult as i'm fresher and i'm in kolkata now) ? Thanks in advance. Bye.

I believe all of us do have this question in the back of our minds, especially with the huge request of free source php programming, but i still think you do not need to make a huge jumpin your life in one day. so it would be better if you do what you are good at and gradually and smoothly work on projects in VB or .NET, untill you find professionalism in your work. but i totally agree that the world is shifting towards .NET and Oracle programming but still huge and vast area of the world still using open source.
