I have a client that recently moved their site to another server. Said server didn't have PHP installed. Certain parts of the client's site wouldn't function without PHP because, ahem, those parts were written in PHP. When I approached the system's administrator about installing PHP, he uttered: "PHP is too new. If it were coded in Perl it would work perfectly." Mega'tard Nonsense. [snipped the rest of possibly the longest post ever made to php-general] ;-D And, I know, it's not /that/ damned new. I've had to deal with that type of response before, and it's getting annoying. -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!
