Re: <php> for big sites

absolutely. I have a number of large installations running PHP/Oracle and have been amazed at the performance... not only can PHP handle big sites, I know of nothing that can handle them _better_ Of course, like anything tuned, it is possible to screw it up and mess up the scalability, but if you think about it for a bit you can design a system that will handle virtually infinite traffic. It just takes a bit of money. I consistently see page render times in the hundredth and thousandth of a second range in load balanced systems. I have designed a system which is intended to be a platform for large scape web applications. It is entirely in PHP.
