>> if you need more power in php whatcha gunna do? I've literally yet to find anything I couldn't do with stock PHP. If I did, theres always this... a lovely little API that they embrace you to use when everything goes south. http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/zend.php
>>And who is php backed by again?? oh yeah "we the people" Well, like MySQL, PHP is actually overseen by ZEND, a company created by 2 of the Senior Developers. They choose to help support it and provide extra utilities to make their money. I can agree with you that the community has bloated PHP, and even agree that its a faster development tool. But aside from that, its pretty well neck in neck... and thats good for both languages. Competition breeds innovation.

I guess Simon is trying to say that if I buy a car and everytime it breaks down they will send someone to fix it (even from germany) and he thinks thats a BAD thing? I guess it would be better to take it down to jimmy joes house and confer with the locals about what to do with it, maybe google the problem a bit, maybe find a half-assed answer and then try it and if it gets messed up to bad cause there is really noone to back it up. Sounds good to me, guess i'm gunna ditch cfm and go with that cause gee it sure sounds swell wally................. But his comparison has a point. I know when I have problems with my MM stuff that I can call my rep and he'll come over and find me a solution thats actually backed by the company. And who is php backed by again?? oh yeah "we the people", which sounds nice but "we the people" also are the ones who send us viruses as well, do you know them? do you trust them? are they required to tell you the correct thing to do if you have a problem? or could they be telling something that will corrupt everything you have already done? If you like php thats great but like i said in last post, if you put up cfm in a fair fight with equal quality coders in php, asp, .net, jsp, perl, whatever, cfm still gets it done faster and in the end cheaper. And if you need additional power then you can run java in it and you have all you need, if you need more power in php whatcha gunna do? ~Dave the disruptor~ This bottle of lemonaid says "contains no lemon juice" and the can of Pledge says "contains real lemon juice" figures @%*((&% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:208445 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
