Are there alternatives to PHP that perform faster and have somewhat the same feature set (like support for common RDBMS, Curl, Regex, etc)?
What about coding websites in C? How does that work out? Is that platform independent and works on each server?

Some of the popular alternatives to PHP include Java, Python, and Go. Here are the salient features of these languages.
Python is better than PHP in long term project. PHP has low learning curve, it is easy to get started with PHP. Compare to PHP Python has lower number of Frameworks. Popular ones are DJango, Flask.
One of the best PHP alternatives is Python. It is a versatile language that is often used in scientific computing and data analysis. It's considered an easy-to-learn language and also supports multiple programming paradigms. This makes Python a good choice for beginners that are just starting out with coding.
Your question is broad.
PHP can be made fast and scalable (Flickr, Facebook and more sites run PHP)
Somewhat similar in purpose are webframeworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, Lift, ... (these can scale, too, see e.g. Twitter)
