There are also numerous python xmlrpc servers. I think most scripting languages are fundamentally very similar nowadays - the biggest difference is what you're comfortable with. Personally I find php syntax very natural. One big advantage of php is the huge installed user base and the fact that you don't really need to know much about it to start using it. The database integration is great which of course is a big plus if you're going to start serialising and storing objects to introduce state to your apps. Probably the best way to judge suitability to a particular task is to visit php.net and check out the built in functions. Also, If you're writing apps for commercial distribution, you can compile php scripts with the zend encoder (www.zend.com) to optimise and protect them. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
