I'm not a programmer but can anyone explain why server side scripts written in c++ tend to be better than those written in PHP/mySQL? my understanding is the c++ is faster and uses less resources..

I'm talking to some guys about having a custom script programed for a service I want to offer. They are trying to convince me to go with PHP/mySQL, I'm not sure that will be the best option for what I'm wanting to do.

I'm just looking for some basic information on why c++ is better for some things and PHP/mySQL is better in other areas
