Re: Re: eCommerce with PHP and MySQL

Hi you all I have been using IBM DB2 to develop a fairly large eCommerce web site with PHP4b2. DB2 is a "beauty"...It work fine for me and is less expensive than Oracle...As far as support goes it is supported from IBM for over 35 different platforms :))))) DB2 + PHP4 +mcrypt +Apache 1.3.9+mod_ssl+OpenSSL is the "gig" I used....Worked like a charm .... I recommend you test drive DB2 before deciding to go with Sybase....
