    Joomla dn Drupal are scripts written mostly … in php!
    Php is probably the most powerful language for the web.
    But to reach 1 million users is not a question of langage: it is a question of
    1. Good and efficient programming structure (that you will not achieve with either Joomla or Drupal or any other "helper" (IDE)
    2. Speed of your server (the highest, the better, multiprocessors, "dedicated" a must)
    3. Server’s memory (the largest, the better)
    4. Concurrent visitor server’s availability (above 500 concurrents will require server farm)
    5. Bandwidth. (count a base of 150k per concurrent visitor. 500 concurrents require 75Mb/s bandwith [expensive!])

    The fact that you are asking it here tells me that you probably do not have a site yet and that you never monitor your visits: getting just 500 visitors PER MONTH is NOT an easy task!
    If you managed that, you would already have faced some problems…
