Page Manipulation (PHP vs Python)

I recently coded a solution for timed1 in PHP, and it is to slow :(. Its running locally via xampp, so I'm thinking that may be the issue.

This is what I'm getting at: Which do you feel is better for manipulating a web page? PHP or Python?

depends what you're a better coder in, i have done them all in both, personally i prefer python…

perhaps try a host like 100webspace that aallow cURL/.

Perl.

With PHP curl through the local browser took me about 2-3 sec to complete the task , I just have a slow connection. Perl script run from the command box was much faster. My guess is that the Python script will work faster as well. Use scripts.
