It's more than capable, depending on your needs. Do you want to support hundreds or thousands of simultaneous users? MySQL might not be your best bet. Dozens-hundreds, yes. The MySQL question is unrelated to the 'variables' carryover - that has to do with the concept of sessions. php.net/sessions should have more info, although that mechanism isn't the only way of doing it. :) If you're looking to do something commercial, and need support, my company would be happy to discuss your requirements in more detail and advise/consult/develop as necessary (as I'm sure others on the list would too). If you're looking for a personal site, or learning, or a proof of concept, there are many good code examples and tutorials at places like zend.com and phpbuilder.com. (and weberdev.com if memory servers, right boaz?) :) Good luck. :) Michael Kimsal 734-480-9961 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
