PHP Pros/Cons, Case Examples, PHP vs Servlets

Hi, Im currently running many scripts myself and other staff members wrote in PHP for the university. Certain others want to eliminate PHP and make everything Java based. It is now in the 'debate meeting' stage, so I need some help. I have done a handful of research already, but im looking for more info. Specifically: Pros/Cons of PHP (in general) ...from your experiences Pros/Cons of PHP in a university environment ...for those working at/with universities/educational institutions Case Examples of PHP use in universities, would be especially helpful for anyone with examples of using PHP with a datatel product. Any info on using PHP with a UniData database, even if its through ODBC. Any cases where you found PHP was better at the task than Java, or vice-versa. Specific examples, etc, would be even better. The meeting is scheduled for May 22, so any info prior would be great Thanks for the help, Scott Scott Winkle Web Developer Phone: (937) 327-7478 swinkle@wittenberg.edu Web Team / Wittenberg University Computing Center
