PHP only has access to PHP > libraries Don't know if anyone mentioned this argument yet but... With PHP 4's Java support, you can take advantage of any Java code you may have from your PHP scripts. Also, with the Servlet feature you can run your PHP engine inside any servlet container (e.g. Websphere, Tomcat). This pretty much says to me that anything you can do with JSP you can do with PHP. However, I'm not sure if the reverse is true since you can't call out to PHP's built in functions from JSP's (at least not yet). Alex
