Why do companies use jsp/java?

No one who knows PHP properly writes their SQL calls that way any more. They all use PDO or mysqli with prepare statements using placeholders. These ways have been around a long time and the last of the systems that didn’t support them disappeared years ago.

Overriding PHP.ini to use PDO

At that point, most people would just give up.

A lot of these issues aren’t PHP’s fault so much as the environment PHP must run in.
