I did not go deeply into the cost benefits of php, or the support benifits associated with the open source community. I simply pointed out that we already were configured to run it. I did mentioned that it looked to be as powerful or more powerful than our current solution and that it worked natively with our database. The CIO here is not a pushover at all. Most often it takes me forever to get my recomendations implemented if they are implemented at all. I guess he just looked at it and saw that it made sense. Now I get to use either tool and in the process further my own career by becoming adept in another language. Not to mention working towards making our current site a shocase for PHP in a large commercial enterprise envirionment. PS It may have helped that the CIO considers M$ to be the devil.
