PHP used on Top 20 Croatian sites

I was wondering how important and popular PHP is in Croatian web development circles so I decided to go through list of 20 most popular croatian webs using gemius audience list to locate sites using it.

In first 10 websites there are 5 of them (njuskalo.hr, dnevnik.hr, forum.hr, vecernji.hr & coolinarika.com ) and in the next 10 there are 5 more (blog.hr, show.hr, rtl.hr, igre123.net & moj-posao.net). 50%? Thats really a lot.

Other websites are using:

- Microsoft stack (index.hr, tportal.hr, bloger.hr, slobodnadalmacija.hr, mojtv.hr, bug.hr ),
- Java (jutarnji.hr )
- python (24sata.hr)
- perl (oglasnik.hr)

The biggest one (net.hr) has multiple sites on subdomains that mainly use PHP & Java.

To gather this statistics, for some of the sites I already knew what technology they use, for some of them it was enough to read file extensions in URL's and for the rest of them I used firebug to read response headers.
