You see, I am pushing for a Web Development Certification program that would include PHP/MySQL as well as several other Web Languages (i.e., html, css, javascript, ajax). Currently the college teaches ASP in a regular course toward a IT Certification, but class attendance has dropped considerably -- no one wants to take the course. However, My PHP class has been maxed out. But my class is a special topic class and not part of the regular coursework that would go towards a Degree or Certification -- and that's where I would like this to go. As such, I need information regarding how wide-spread PHP is (i.e., number of installations), who's using it (i.e., companies, organizations), and how it compares with other Web Languages (i.e., ASP, Ruby, etc.). So, what say you? References will work. Thanks, tedd Considering this is academia, how about WikiPedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki 75 languages and over 3.5 million pages : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics So, this is just 1 site. Of course, you can easily have a Flash frontend with a PHP backend. The whole nature of PHP is that it can fit anywhere. Web, Console, GUI (with appropriate bindings). Multii-platform, architecture, OS, etc. - probably preaching to the converted here. I would also recommend the inclusion of a nosql module and MAYBE some Windows specific elements (I use IIS/MSSQL/PHP no problem. MS SQL driver for PHP is PDO and works very nicely). -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend : PHPDoc @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY : bit.ly/lFnVea -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You've got a configuration issue. You'll need to add a directory directive to execute CGI scripts to the httpd.conf or whereever the equivelent file is. Normally, I would tell you to download and install xampp which will give you a working setup out of the box. --Curtis Mateus Almeida wrote: Yes, Irsquo;ve tried http://localhost:1234/test.php.

They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure # consult the online docs. You have been warned. # # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with / (or drive:/ for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with /, the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so logs/foo.log # with ServerRoot set to C:/Arquivos de programas/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2 will be interpreted by the # server as C:/Arquivos de programas/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log. # # NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes # instead of backslashes (e.g., c:/apache instead of c:\apache). # If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which httpd.exe is located # will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply # an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion. # # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's # configuration, error, and log files are kept. # # Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point # ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive # at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple # httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile. # ServerRoot C:/Arquivos de programas/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2 # # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, instead of the default.

Since it's a school, you might also want to point out Moodle http://moodle.org/ is another example of PHP based, open source software that is used by many educational institutions throughout Canada and Australia (I'd assume the rest of the world as well). By my own completely unscientific research and experience - it's very strange to come upon a URL that ends with .aspx or .jsp. Considering that Linux (and its variants) powers the overwhelming majority of the Internet's web servers - it seems fair to conclude that PHP would be the most accessible web language there is. Best of luck breaking through the education bubble.

Google 'IBM PHP' shows 99,500,000 results. The first link http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/php/index.html shows how their systems run PHP. *Open to Innovation* Are you looking to develop or deploy Web applications? PHP, the leading scripting language for Web applications, provides an open and easy to use alternative and gives you access to thousands of open source applications and scripts. Thousands of IBM i customers around the world have downloaded Zend’s PHP products for i for a wide variety of web application development and deployment initiatives. .. i ... refers to their i series servers. Also, ask them what does IBM stand for and why would a company with that name supports PHP strongly. And if that doesn't open their mind up, ask them of what they think about Oracle. Then Google Oracle PHP, showing 199,000,000 results, and let them think if it's still a hobbyist language. Oracle, another almost 40 year old 500 pound gorilla, started the commercial RDBMS industry. The examples can go on and on... ;) Regards, Tommy
