Why would you think such a thing? They both accomplish the same mission
using similar strategies. A competant JSP programmer is going to make a
better program than a newbie PHP programmer and vice versa.

Which programming language do you know? What kind of hardware are you
using? How many programmers are on your team? What kind of program are
you developing?

The question isn't as simple as JSP vs. PHP vs. .NET, etc, many other
things need to be taken into consideration, too. You may just have to
accept that JSP is a better solution in this instance. Or you may weigh
all of the above and decide it'd be stupid to not use PHP.

Peter Yared was formerly CTO for Sun's Application Server groups.
He has rejected JSP/J2EE and is now advocating solutions such as PHP.

Pretty damning, given Peter's background:

" The Java API’s grow into a morass of inconsistent and incomprehensible API
’s,
even the most simple things proved to be very complicated. The vast majority
of J2EE deployments (over 80% according to Gartner) are simply Servlet/JSP
to JDBC applications. Basically HTML front-ends to relational databases. It
is ironic that much of what makes Java complicated today is all of its
numerous band-aid extensions, such as generics and JSP templates, which were
added to make these types of simple applications easier to develop. "
