The only thing where PHP is similar to C++ are two ANSI characters used for
opening and closing statement blocks:  '{' and '}'
In all other aspects the languages are more different then anything

And if you don't develop larger applications then you should go with
PHP. Only if the project reaches a certain difficulty level it makes
sense to switch to a good general purpose language like Python or
Ruby.
