Coding, syntax and commands
PHP has a windows thread safe and non-thread safe version for windows. Also, the Facebook people have built a complier for PHP. Last fall I went to a ZEND PHP conference and watched the CIO of the NYSE present a case study about how he was hired to hurry up a two year project that was not getting completed. A month latter he dumped the project and started over with PHP and had the project deployed in 8 months. I also watched a case study from GE that was impressive. What surprised me the most was how many very large companies use PHP. Dismissing PHP is a big mistake. Its problem is it does not get the press because it is open source.
>>>I have been using PHP for about 6 months now ( I started using foxbase in 1988) and I can tell you that PHP is much simpler for web and has way more string handling capabilities than VFP. Don't get me wrong, I still like using VFP for client work but I would never go back to using if for web.

>Fair enough. The fact that php is an unthreaded script that doesn't get compiled at all, shows that the concerns people raise to justify tool selection may be good in a debate but may not matter so much in the real world, since PHP is the driving force behind an awful lot of the internet out there.
