try doing my .sig in PHP :-) IMHO PHP is just "good" at web programming, nothing else. But then, even what it's good at, it's bad. I think its no good inviting people to mix HTML and code arbitrarily. perl is far more than a web programming language. > Is it time for me to learn PHP? that depends on what you're up to, or what you're in. Programming PHP is a pain if you know perl... consider PHP arrays, and compare the OO concepts of both languages. > Any thoughts? since there ain't anything that can't be done in perl - I would leave PHP for it's primary use - personal home page - It's harder to write a web app in perl - if you are a beginner and have just learned html, that is. Nut that's also the reason there is such a lot of bad PHP code around. See php-nuke, phpMyAdmin etc. and security flaws. -gg- > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Christopher Hicks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Georg Moritz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2004 5:28 PM > Subject: Re: ping... > > > > On Sat, 4 Dec 2004, Georg Moritz wrote: > >> hmm.. now it seems there's two at least :-) > > > > three! :) I guess "me too" (or in my case "me three") posts on a list > > are better than nothing right? > > > > -- > > </chris> > > > > "Fans of Mozilla's free, open-source Firefox browser make the > > ardent Apple faithful look like a bunch of slackers." > > - Rebecca Lieb at clickz.com > -- _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.
