To me it seems you just answered your own question. If you are going to be the programmer, do it in a language you understand. You are probably already familiar with the ins and outs of PHP programming. You can more than likely get a job done quickly using it. In addition, you will probably end up with a more secure program that fits the needs of your users if written in the language you are most comfortable. People may argue that one language is more secure over the other. In this case, however, it all comes down to you and your ability to write properly documented, secured, and designed code. Don't let those dollar signs you are seeing slip away. Use the time to add new features and security enhancements. Don't waste it trying to 'remember' how to do something in a language you are rusty in. -Ryan Simpkins /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
