Lol, silly human :-). Indeed, but the same rings true if .NET was involved as you would have even more choice of languages etc (devils advocate here :-) "This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.

It only means that you can't see it (yet). Personally, I see a lot I could do with this. One example would be that I've been using CFEXECUTE in conjunction with command-line PHP for a while now in order to generate high-quality image thumbnails. The GD libraries that are included in PHP are far superior to anything I've ever seen from a Java environment. With this innovation - I can just write PHP code right in the middle of my CFML code to generate my thumbnails. No funky code separation with CFEXECUTE - and much simpler variable sharing. Previously I've had to pass variables via command line attributes. This method is much simpler. > If you want to do PHP, use PHP. Haha - I don't even know where to begin with this statement.
