ZDNet compares four web scripting languages. ColdFusion gets top honors as "the most productive choice," and JSP as the "best growth path for enterprises." PHP comes in as the fastest, though ZDNet's rationale for not claiming it the best is very sound. As much as I love PHP for my own projects, even the larger of my projects are hindered by PHP's scriptiness. Maybe I just need to learn more PHP technique; PHP 4 offers more options along the lines of larger-scale programming languages that could help along these lines...
