What would be the 'specific need' to do work in C where PHP, its many extensions and library (PECL & PEAR), and lots of the other PHP code based libraries/frameworks out there already to do the job? The way I look at it, if too many languages are involved then most likely the application design is over complicated. SQL = back end data storage PHP = processing input/output, including back end data HTML/XML = document layout for nice hierarchical format JS/Flash = client side effects and processing to offload some server load Each already designed and made to do the the specific function and are nicely coupled together. From the above, I've yet to see the need to write C code for the PHP based application - with the exception of threads, and let's not get into it again... lol. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
