🆚 CFML vs. PHP

ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) is a scripting language for web development, usually associated with Adobe ColdFusion.

PHP (originally named "Personal Home Page" and now defined as the recursive acronym "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") is a widely used server-side scripting language for building dynamic web applications.

It features dynamic typing, flexible string interpolation, garbage collection, a large standard library, built-in handling of sessions, cookies, forms, and file uploads, native integration with numerous databases, and, since PHP 8, additional improvements such as just-in-time compilation, union types, attributes, and enums.
