In web development PHP is very easy to use and best of all very well
documented. I have to aggress with Lezz Giles on using PHP over perl for
MySQL backed webpages.. The learning curve on PHP is far easier than
perl.. I use both for various reasons..I tend to use perl of CGI apps
that php cant do or commandline linux administration stuff.. check out
the PHP documentation at http://www.php.net/ PHP has built in functions
that will dump an entire row into an array (this works with CSV and SQL
databases).well there is my 2 cents worth on PHP+MySQL
