I recently spent a couple weekend nights and built the StudioZ.tv website in
PHP4 on OSX. It is a pretty cool webapp that has really transformed things
for us and made my life MUCH easier (the office staff can fully manage the
events that show up on the website via a browser). I incorporate several
technologies into the site (including a cool XML-RPC interface that talks to
presaleticketing.com to tell us how many tickets have been sold). I used PHP
because it was quick and easy and I didn't have time to 'design' the
application.
The only thing that sucks is that the code is a complete hack that is going
to be terrible to maintain over the long term and half the time, I can't
figure out why something does or doesn't work.
