I'm not allowed to say what company it's for, but we just finished building a site for a Fortune 50 company. Others have mentioned google and Y!, which are of course very prominent. Recently, IBM has remarked that it's endorsing PHP and throwing money at PHP development to make it more enterprise ready. Another argument I'd make is that PHP can run on a variety of web servers, not just IIS, which give you more choice in your web architecture. ASP is certainly a fine language, but my personal opinion is that it locks you in to a single architecture -- one that costs $$$ and which has limited scalability. Those reasons alone are enough to look at other languages. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | WEBSITES: Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org mailto:matthew@xxxxxxxxxx | http://vermontbotanical.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
