I pretty much agree with this. PHP isn't very popular with business hosting clients and I won't support it until I have a reasonable request to do so. I had PHP before and I found that it wasn't very nicely integrated into the system, leaving many temp files behind and in an obvious location (a security risk). Since there is no easy way to continually update PHP in order to patch for flaws on a Windows box, it is overly burdensome to maintain.

Although I can understand the argument for supporting other platforms, I think that they would be doing that at the expense of 90% of their user base who can and is willing to use IIS and ASP which is more stable and can be more easily integrated. For those that like PHP, they can install Squirrel Mail on whatever server they want and only lose the administration capabilities.

PHP can be flaky on Windows in my experience (as of last week on the
latest version), and it also adds in another application that we have to
maintain and troubleshoot.  If you're gonna use IIS you should program
in ASP since it comes with.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Survery responses - PHP

Thanks to everyone who has responded to the survey, your input will be
very helpful.

Several people has said that IMail requiring PHP would not be
acceptable. Could I get more info as to why PHP would be a problem?


Thanks,
Tripp
