You're assumption is completely wrong because if you guys would never existed or contributed to PHP, somebody else would have done it. You are definetly not the only ones in the universe that could have developed a better PHP engine. PHP already was popular before PHP 4. Chances are that somebody else could have done the same or better then your Zend engine. > There are 3 million PHP based web sites in the world.

There are plenty of other uses for PHP than the Web, despite you do not want to promote PHP for that. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
