Recently I read an article on Information Week magazine (January, 2000). They compare PHP and Perl for Web Development. Because I'm not a Perl developer I only focus on PHP. Do you know how many RAM use PHP for each hit ? And if we're using database access, How is affected the performance of our web site? Here is the article: Web Development Language of Choice - Processing speed and Memory (RAM) costs - Saludos, -jmwg
