In my opinion even today there's a huge demand for some kind of application server: Just look at Microsoft's .NET strategy: successfully integrating Application, Transaction Server into ASP and adding useful features like WebForms they have managed to get themselves prepared for the upcoming need of Web Applications. As far as I can say I consider PHP as a powerfull oponent to ASP+. The integration of an Application server like Kristian described would heavily support the reasons PHP is used for developing high end applications and e-commerce shops in future. From my point of view PHP can be expanded to become much more than a scripting language used to create "dynamic web-pages" ... Greets, Andre -- Andre Christ twisd AG http://www.twisd.de
