THanks A couple links away from that usage page you'll find <http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200205/apachemods.html>. You'll see that, according to this survey, PHP runs on somewhat over 40% of Apache servers surveyed. Further, Apache has somewhat more than a 60% "market share". (See <http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/200205/index.html>.) Taking 40% of 60% gives 24%. (If you use the actual percentages instead of rounding off like I did, you get just over 29%.) So you can tell your boss that PHP runs on one-fourth of *all* web servers on the Internet. Note: Yes, I realize that this only means that Apache has the PHP module loaded and that there might not be a single line of PHP code on the whole site. In and of itself, it's still a truthful statement and much more accurate than claims that Free/OS Software is "shareware". -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin Attachment:
