RE: [PHP] php vs cold fusion

Gezz.... They say some pretty nasty things about PHP.... Read on: === A key concern for us is PHP's lack of a standardized database API: To access the Oracle database we were using, we had to code directly to the Oracle8 API, making our pages very nonportable and upping development costs. There are some ongoing projects in this area, including an effort to port Microsoft's ADO API to PHP === this is what PHPLIB is there for! $db->query($query); and that's it! Use it with Oracle, ODBC, MySQL, PostgeSQL with whatever SQL will ever exist! === Integrated development tools and debuggers for PHP are scarce (we could only find one, Ives Development Inc.'s Nexidion Designer, which is nearing Version 1.0 status). Also, any organization doing clustering or failover with PHP is in largely uncharted waters. === Is that so?

I missed the original thread. http://www.zdnet.com/enterprise/stories/linux/0,12249,2646052,00.html It pretty much bagged PHP in a sense. They say ColdFusion and JSP is the way to go.
