With PHP, the sky is the limit. And with great error reporting, design time with PHP is very small compared to other alternative languages like perl or cf. > PHP is getting this too, but > one real problem with PHP is the lack of PHP knowledgable programmers. We have a whole office full of knowledgable PHP programmers, did you need my contact info?

I've seen quite a few not-so-talented cf programmers before too. Again, your info is brought about by perspective and experience. > Code Fusion is not going anywhere soon, but PHP will quickly > become just as > valid a method of server side programming. PHP is _already_ a 'valid' method of server side programming, did I miss something??? Greg
