Not so, one of the areas that ASP beats PHP (3, but reading this newsgroup it would seem 4 has probs too) is in the fact that it handles sessions. Believe me, PHP is something I want to succeed - just for not being M$. However, I think it suffers the same fate of most things open source - a lack of support at a professional level. There is no way I could recommend this list as an alternative to the service agreement we already have with Microsoft. regards, Mikey theology n.
