Connected to freshmeat.net. Escape character is '^]'. HEAD / HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 02 Nov 1999 22:10:39 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/4.0B3-dev Connection: close Content-Type: text/html Freshmeat was written in PHP from day one. So are most of the other online news sites out there. The big exception being /. But someone has ported the slash code to PHP. Other notable sites out there that use PHP heavily are: mp3.com linux.com linuxapps.com segfault.org linuxpower.com distributed.net scour.net honda.com subaru.com volvo.com xoom.com winamp.com mp3.lycos.com w3.org More at www.php.net/sites.php3 Not that I am arguing with your overall point. PHP is definitely geared to HTML jockeys turned programmers and some power is sacrifized compared to mod_perl, but I think it is unfair to give the impression that one cannot build a busy and significant site using PHP. A whole lot of people have. Have a read through: http://freshmeat.net/about.php3 and: http://www.linux.com/about/software.phtml -Rasmus
