This is all very vague and makes no sense to me. Please answer these questions, for your own benefit and for ours: 1. What goal does your application currently accomplish? 2. What goal does it not accomplish that your boss would like to accomplish? 3. What exactly are you being asked to change to in order to satisfy #2? So far in this thread, I haven't even been able to figure out what you're trying to do, let alone why you think PHP will help you! Maybe what you meant to say was "convert it to PHP", instead of "convert it to MySQL"? If so, the answers to #1 and #2 above will help us a lot, even if the response turns out to be "you don't need to do that". Perl is perfectly capable of talking to MySQL. Peace, and good luck. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp - -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/pale_blue_dot.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPEHV/L9BpdPKTBGtEQLldACfWXT9ER+IdGJprXCMqpMAU1heHjgAoKAi di0iV2yAOv63MGDoveUEpV0b =EJbo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
