Well, I at least find PHP to be quite handy for quick-and-dirty scripting, especially when SQL is involved. Also quite useful for testing stuff before you stick it into a CGI :) And yes, I've been thinking about making it a slave port; maybe in a few days' time (too much real life / real work issues right now; funny how people pick such weird dates as New Year for project deadlines, isn't it ;) About PHP4 - hmf. I've not tried recent versions, but I was VERY unhappy with 4.0 and 4.0.1. Most of the issues are probably already fixed in newer releases, but I do not feel like testing - especially if testing means eventually deploying it on a production server, and finding the hard way that there's still something missing (sad headshake in recollection of a 4:30 AM 'it ain't working' phone call, only to find a script hogging all of CPU and all of memory with the single purpose of producing an endless stream of 'Zend interpreter internal error' messages..) Like the saying goes, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" - and PHP3 feels quite unbroken to me :) G'luck, Peter -- This sentence was in the past tense.
