Not only that but *good* PHP coders are very hard to find. I've advertised for PHP jobs before and you get a lot of chaff. Most people who are or can be good seem to move on to something else. Advertise for a Python (or Ruby) job and you get a totally different group of people. And then there is the fact that RedHat recently released a report on the security of RHEL4 over the past 4 years and PHP is the only language specifically called out with its own section for special treatment as a security problem: http://magazine.redhat.com/2009/03/10/risk-report-four-years-of-red-hat-enterprise-linux-4/#id1550273 -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
