Actually, that one might fit now. In years past, that advice would often lead you to write very expensive code, because it couldn't be run on a cheap web host - if you write something in Python, you have to pay through the nose, but any piece-of-rubbish host will give you PHP. That may now be changing, though. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
