Are the practicalities of your setup such that you must use Win2000, IIS
etc?
Being a fan of PHP I note it supports Interbase 6 and a number of other
database platforms natively (MySQL, PostgreSQL etc)
I'm currently getting very good results with some test scripts querying a
PostgreSQL database...PHP 4 is heaps faster than its predecessor and, they
tell me, more stable than ASP.
