Oh, sure, you get warm fuzzies in your tummy when you hear Yahoo is using PHP, or Google uses PHP for some stuff, but it doesn't really MATTER to you. Because, in the end, of all the things that they can point to for their success, the development language behind their software is least likely to be a major factor. I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, nor that there aren't specific reasons to choose one over another. Only that the success/failure of the site rarely, if ever, rides on the language chosen. It rides almost exclusively on the shoulders of the people building/marketing/promoting/using the site. I suppose there's even a good site built in ASP out there somewhere, even if I think all the ones I've ever seen really suck. :-) -- 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
