Google 'IBM PHP' shows 99,500,000 results. The first link http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/php/index.html shows how their systems run PHP. *"Open to Innovation* Are you looking to develop or deploy Web applications? PHP, the leading scripting language for Web applications, provides an open and easy to use alternative and gives you access to thousands of open source applications and scripts. Thousands of IBM i customers around the world have downloaded Zend’s PHP products for i for a wide variety of web application development and deployment initiatives." ".. i ..." refers to their i series servers. Also, ask them what does IBM stand for and why would a company with that name supports PHP strongly. And if that doesn't open their mind up, ask them of what they think about Oracle. Then Google "Oracle PHP", showing 199,000,000 results, and let them think if it's still a "hobbyist language". Oracle, another almost 40 year old 500 pound gorilla, started the commercial RDBMS industry. The examples can go on and on... ;) Regards, Tommy
