I was just trying to be a smart ass - It looked like you wanted some one to be :)
I like php, I use in on one of my open source sites (which happens to run on FreeBSD). As I recall CF isn't supported on FreeBSD anyway. I care not what yahoo does. You make a very intelligent argument for those posting against the php switch however. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Everland [mailto:REverland@;dixonusa.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 8:09 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Yahoo moving to PHP But you can't do that if you want to include files. I think yahoo makes a good case for moving to PHP. It's very fast for them, they are on Freebsd and they gave pretty good reasons to move to that language. Some of us don't agree that CF is an ugly language, but it is. It's nice for us because we're used to it, but hard core prgrammers are use to c style syntax. PHP follows c very closely which if you read the article is also very similar to the language they are already using. I doubt CF would be able to come to the speed that PHP can either. They did tests with it before, PHP blew the pants off of ASP and CF. I think Yahoo would do their research before making any rash decisions.
