If you want us to give you live ammo instead of blanks, we'll need more details on your setup. There is a possibility that you should use ASP instead of PHP, albeit slim. Things like: What languages the coder(s) already know What code is already in place What kind of interfacing will you be doing (what data sources, etc.) if any What type of server it's running off Etc. You can certainly start off with apache+php is going to be cheaper than anything else (assuming you or someone else know the particulars already). It's no longer the case that bosses will complain that "if you leave no one can maintain it!" - PHP is definitely here to stay and pretty mainstream. - Martin Norland, Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
