Re: PHP support for witless corporations

I was fortunate enough to have a boss that was in a budget crunch but needed something to quickly collect, analyze and present information. I guess I'm lucky, my boss is a forward thinker, and can recognize the value of free. On Friday, July 18, 2003, at 08:22 PM, Jonathan Villa wrote:

I am also in the same boat. My company is mainly Lotus Notes/Microsoft, and does a lot of Java. While I have no problem with Java, I would rather use PHP than Lotus Script or .NET. I research the following... 1. The cost of setup is free 2. Model-View-Controller design pattern can be implemented with PHP 3. PHP is faster on the web 4. It's increase in popularity 5. Since PHP works well with UNIX/Linux, so anything can be done 6. Fixes to the language come at a much faster rate than .NET and others. 7. Function library is awesome! 8. Upgrading to newer versions are free!! Where Microsoft will charge! 9. It's just better... On Fri, 2003-07-18 at 13:13, lackluster lackluster wrote:

I'm tyring to sneak PHP into my company. Everybody wants to go with .NET, but, having used both, I think technically PHP is a better choice. My task here is to convince management to get away from .NET. Nobody wants to hear that support is free, with loads of easy-to-find documentation, request for bugfixes, and THE FREAKIN' SOURCE CODE!!! They'd rather purchase support ..... so .... is there anywhere I can BUY support for PHP? Thanks for the help, and anything I should tell management to satisfy them would be helpful.
