Re: [PLUG] PHP Help

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

Unless the company plans to sell the code to an outside company, why 
does the market share of PHP matter?  If your company chooses PHP, the 
market share just increased.  More importantly, cost has DEcreased and 
you have an effective scripting language to use.  (Although, it sounds 
like you were talking about deploying a PHP-based application as opposed 
to writing your own PHP scripts. Still.)

How do people that fall for Micro$oft propaganda end up in charge?  They 
seem to believe that you only get what you pay for, which is generally 
true.  But, as "they" say, the best things in life are FREE.
