Q:Why would anyone use ssLang other than PHP? Where would advantage be?

Hello, As an avid HTML, Javascript user who added basic PHP stuff and is slowly going deeper into PHP when I compare PHP to the others ASP, JSP, CGI, Java, etc... I have to ask why would anyone even look to something other than the beautiful and less arcance PHP in favor of the other horrendous choices? I just want to make sure I'm not missing something? I mean half the stuff I've seen in PHP was logically firgured out upon sight. I mean it didn't take a book to know that every time I see a $ as in "Value" the value of a variable was about to be proclaimed. And print goes back to good ol' basic. None of this evil and ugly,,, *import.bs.class.bs.ofsub.bs, followed by ten lines of arcane horror just to put an F'n graphic on the screen? PHP rocks! Please inform my small mind why I should even give a damn about the others. -Marcus -- Marcus James Christian UNLIMITED Multimedia Internet Design http://mjchristianunlimited.com Proudly presents the music of CHROMATICUS at http://www.mp3.com/chromaticus and http://chromaticus.com
