>>but decided to do it with PHP and MySQL.
And it wasn't all that tough, was it? ;-)
The bite comes if you have massive investment in working VFP logic that apparently must be retired because a vendor says so. Unlike a motor vehicle, business logic expressed in software does not "wear out" unless people decide to make it happen on purpose. My reaction to that is "Fool me once..." etc. Which is why php is an excellent choice: nobody can Fox that without forking and a vibrant effort by the equivalent of MVPs to keep it going.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
