I'm an ardent PHP hater, but Ryan is right. Use the tool you know best. And during the evenings, instead of watching TV, repent and learn Ruby. Or Python. Or Perl. But not Java, because while it's a much better designed language than PHP, it's still evil. As for C++... it should be obvious to any right thinking person that C++ is at least an order of magnitude more evil than PHP or Java. After you've learned Ruby/Python/Perl, you should learn either Scheme or Lisp. Even if you don't use either regularly, you'll learn new skills that can be applied to Ruby/Python/Perl but can't be applied to more impoverished languages like PHP. -- Stuart Jansen e-mail/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Configuration files should be hand coded C statically linked into the binary. If you can't write C, you have no business telling software what to do.
