RE: [PHP] Integrating PHP into the workplace

i've been in the same situation before. one option may be to try and supply your own hardware for a development machine of sorts simply to demonstrate php's usefulness. this would mean that you'd have to completely manage the box though in order to prove it's usefulness. another option may be to try and migrate them to an open source solution by running php on winnt since that's what's already in place. once you can prove it to be a better scripting language, then you pitch the fact that it runs better on linux. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tyler Longren [mailto:tyler.longren@midiowa.net] > Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 11:15 PM > To: PHP-General > Subject: [PHP] Integrating PHP into the workplace > > > Hello, > > I recently started a new part time job.
