    I looked into event-driven style coding, and noticed PHP itself isn't really an event-driven language. I am trying to get use to it, so does anyone recommend any programming languages that is event-driven and quite well known with lots of documentation?

    What I have in mind: Node.js probably

    Well, if this is what you are talking about, PHP started up as markup (I think) then became dynamic. But I quite like Python, if you want an example, https://youtube.com is coded in python

    PHP was dynamic from day one. Let's take a quote from the PHP/FI 2.0 documentation (yes):

    I think it's fitting that Perl is only hard to comprehend, whereas PHP is designed to make your life hell.

    You can technically do an event-driven model in any language, and PHP is no exception. Node.js is just notable for the fact that it exposes the event loop as an integral part of using it.

    @Tux PHP was a tool that only knew about simple processing of post fields on day 1.
