I am also a big fan of PHP, albeit with MySQL rather than PostgreSQL (just
haven't tried PostgreSQL yet), but that is for playing outside of working
hours :-)
In the real world (ie during working hours) we still need to use MS stuff
(ASP, etc). It is klind of difficult to charge for PHP applications whereas
it is very easy and almost expected to charge for ASP applications (I'm
using ASP in a loose sense here, including ADO, COM, etc). But that is
probably another debate...
