>>I don't necessarily agree with you on that. I'm not saying php is better. I'm not quoting Rick Strahl or any of that other disconnected cut-and-paste ad hominam stuff you brought up. All I'm saying is that PHP is not necessarily a no-go zone, which is the impression you get in some quarters.

True, I spent about three full days (spread across two weeks) getting Apache running my pages, but then I had just as much, if not more, frustration in trying to get a VFP COM server run again under IIS 5, even with Rick's wizards. At least with PHP when I screw up, the error messages are right on the spot, not cryptic, and it's quite easy to find and fix.

Yep, PHP is pretty easy to pickup.
