Ummmm..... So why do we have Delphi / Pascal, C++, C, C#, SmallTalk, Perl,
DOS Batch Files etc. etc. You choose the best tool for the job. Writing a
DOS batch file to copy some files seems to be a more feasible solution than
writing a Delphi app to do the same thing.....
As for PHP. It may not be the answer to everyone's prayers and perhaps not
the "best" scripting language out there, but the one thing that I believe is
a pre-requisite for web stuff is being cross platform. I have the same PHP
enabled web site (with the only change being changing the slash seperator
required for the Win based OS's) running under:
- Linux / Apache / MySQL (External Production Server)
- 9x / PWS / MySQL (Travelling salesmen)
- 9x / Xitami / MySQL (Travelling salesmen)
- NTWKS / Apache / MySQL (Travelling salesmen)
- NTS / IIS / MySQL (Internal Intranet Server)
And that to me is what scripting should be all about...... Write once,
implement anywhere......
Just my 2c worth.......
PS. PHP Does a lot more than repalce tags... As someone else has already
pointed out. See http://au.php.net:81/manual/

Subject: Re: [DUG]: Web Stuff
PHP seems to do the same thing which a Webserver written in
Delphi does i.e. replacing tags with supplied text. And then the
web server must support php. How does it make it better than any
other scripting language. Isn't it another language trying to make
life more complicated. Why can't we have a universal language to
do everything we like?
