That doesn't even make sense.

Wordpress is wrote in PHP.

Wordpress if need a great self updated cms system. (by the way wordpress is built in php )

If you referring to custom built php projects - then only go there if you need features that you can get on wordpress and you need to use api's etc.

You better off using php MVC framework like Codeigniter or Zend Frameworks - code will be much cleaner.

I find wordpress great. It depends on your level of expertise I think.

As others have pointed out Wordpress is built in PHP.

For most small businesses Wordpress works well as a flexible and easy to update CMS.

if i had the choice of a site just on php or a cms using wordpress I'd opt for wordpress every day (even though its written in php).

Today, Internet PHP is the best type of PHP. Its no better than wordpress SEO for PHP.

Lesigh,
Anyway, Yeah, PHP and Wordpress are like comparing apples and something that isnt anything like an apple.

I use wordpress as its very easy to use.
I have no techy skills at all, but using wordpress themes i have made a few very decent looking sites that i would never been able to do on my own without the wordpress themes.

php is machine code.
wordpress is CMS (wrote on PHP).

It would be much easy to explain if you let very one know what exactly you wish to do, built a website ,portal or application depending on that whats better can be defined as wordpress itself is built using php language.

Find a Wordpress design framework and leverage the head-start you get, whether it's Genesis, StudioPress, Suffusion, or what have you.

Then extend using available plugins, adapting those to suit your purposes or developing your own to fit common needs.

If you don't need the extensibility of wordpress, the features and ready-made community of designers/developers, then don't bother. A handful of includes files and notepad editing the html/css - old school.
