Re: PHP in corporate settings?

Yes I had wondered if someone was going to make that claim :) So far I haven't seen much in perl or Java that I CAN'T do in PHP. The user community is much more helpful, the PHP manual online is IMO simply amazing. I love that guide :) I just rarely see any jobs posted for PHP. Mostly ASP and Java.....
