PHP allows you to produce perfectly reusable code, but it doesn't force you to do that.

PHP is very good for rapid "worse is better" style of coding, while being scalable enough to allow somewhat bigger applications. It's a lot prettier than Perl ;-) "General purpose" may strech it a bit too far, but PHP is suitable for far more than layout. regards Wagner -- Cynic, n.: A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
