Best web programming language to implement this project

1. Both are really good for the web (they work perfectly together), you don't have to setup things
2. You can use XAMPP and get a Dev environment fast (since its a school project security is not important)
3. Because of 2 you can simply develop faster, deployment is gonna be easy as hell and XAMPP has with mod_php php built in support for php
4. Because of 3 you don't have to worry about server administration
5. Documentation exist to the mass for PHP and Mysql
6. There are multiple libs that you can use to make things easier in php
7. There is no reason to not use Mysql as your RDBM
8. You already knew PHP and Mysql, wich is an advantage

In your case the language is completely irrelevant. For your use case, you could use any language from PHP to Python or even C# - ASP.NET.

But I honestly think you should stick with PHP/MYSQL:

From your post your problem is not the language, it is your skill. You have simply reached the point where you don't know what to do next and as a possible soloution you are thinking picking up a new language and starting from zero will help, but trust me it wont.

Try to figure out how to approach the next step, break your problems down into tiny pieces and start implementing them. Later on, put everything together.

Hello,

I'm working on a project for school, where i need to develop a website to keep track of the user daily calorie intake. where he could get recommended calorie intake + log his food "kcal value" + keep track of progress "graphs and stuff".

I started doing the project with PHP"login and sign up", getting the recommended and its working perfectly.

but now i'm struggling a bit with php resources can't figure out how am gonna implement the rest of project.

should i stick with PHP/ MySQL, is it going to be enough? or should i try to learn and implement another language.

Buddy, I don't think the problem is with the Language you use. It's with the concept and design of the application.
Search on google, how to make a calorie intake application, read through it and see what kind of design they are proposing. And then start searching for php libraries on github that can help you with your project.
