PHP works quite nicely on large, modular projects. :) A key is using the correct infrastructure and doing your design/architecture work up-front, rather than just slogging out a lot of PHP code and HTML all mixed together. Where I work we've used an environment that's a synergy of pure HTML templates + a servlet/bean infrastructure (implemented in PHP though) with great success. I have a case-study document that I'm in the process of getting permission to publish. I'll post a link to it when I can. - Tim http://www.phptemplates.org
