Re: RE: MySQL & PHP Examples & Training Providers Required

Jay, guys. Thanks very much for all your responses on this issue. I'm sorry if I don't always reply through the group but if I am working from the office I have a problem connecting to the mailing list. which is just one of the reasons I prefer working from home. I, along with your help, have instilled some level of confidence in the languages I am using within my colleagues here at work. even though I am knew, I am no newbie to programming and designing databases and knew that PHP and MySQL would be up to the job. I'm particularly interested in what you are doing with them Jay. I was very surprised to see how many record manipulations your system manages on a daily basis - maybe one day eh...? again: thanks very much :) -- ----------------------------- Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk ----------------------------- "Jay Blanchard" <jay.blanchard@niicommunications.com> wrote in message news:C8F323573C030A448F3E5A2B6FE2070B0352283A@nemesis...

Take TYPO3, for example: http://www.typo3.org I'll second that, PHP is an excellent choice for website development - especially when supported by the correct web server and database ;) [/snip] I'll third this. Extremely complex applications are programmed using PHP. I responded off list to Michael about this, but we are using PHP to process and report on millions of records per day in MySQL databases.
