Actually Richard that is not what I am trying to do. This guy actually is after some feedback and that's what I am trying to give him. Pros for PHP: ------------- It is free, and takes more time to learn that coldfusion (debatable yes). It has a huge support from other developers, and is usually more than free. Cons for PHP: ------------- Coldfusion is also free (Blue Dragon) and has just as much support as PHP, although. PHP can not run in a J2EE environment, limiting it to small scall websites and limiting the prospect of expansion or server migration. I could go on, but as I said at the end of the day it's up to the original poster to put forward the pros and cons to both languages. If I was him I would look at this objectively, because it would bite him in the butt if he made the wrong choice and had to spend more money because the application was not researched for its needs and future expansion path correctly. I would not want to be in a position where I chose one or the other without giving all the information of pros and cons, this allows for the powers to be to make the wrong choice and not the person asking about this in the first place. This is the advice that I am trying to put forward, not whether this language is better than that, but more of an open mind to what each can and can't do.

But you really are wasting your time telling us it's got more features than PHP, which is patently false. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
