 I beg to differ. Many large and complex sites are written in PHP.
 There are also many large and complex programs written in PHP which

I'll second that, PHP is an excellent choice for website development -

Jay, guys. Thanks very much for all your responses on this issue.

I'm sorry if I don't always reply through the group but if I am working from
the office I have a problem connecting to the mailing list. which is just
one of the reasons I prefer working from home.

I, along with your help, have instilled some level of confidence in the
languages I am using within my colleagues here at work. even though I am
knew, I am no newbie to programming and designing databases and knew that
PHP and MySQL would be up to the job. I'm particularly interested in what
you are doing with them Jay. I was very surprised to see how many record
manipulations your system manages on a daily basis - maybe one day eh...?

again: thanks very much :)

 Michael,
 
 My company has recently developed a Web site module for a local
 manufacturing company. The Web site module is a PHP and MySQL application
 composed of several screens and advanced engineering functionality
 (graphing, calculations etc). One of the database tables for the application
 has over 110,000 records.

 The module performed well in testing. It has not been
 released for production yet, so I don't have a good performance report on
 the production version of the Web site module (with many concurrent users).
 
 I could provide you the URL to the Web site when it is released to
 production.

  Subject: MySQL  PHP Examples  Training Providers Required
 
  Hi all.
 
  This might sound like a strange request but here goes.
 
  I'm looking for some examples of sites that are purely MySQL
  and PHP running on Unix and that contain a few thousand
  records preferably held in relational databases.
 
  Rationale:
 
  I need to justify PHP as a tool of choice over say vb.net or
  Oracle. My recommendation, despite my limited knowledge of
  MySQL and PHP is that even if we have 10-15 databases holding
  upwards of 10,000 records each PHP and MySQL are the tools of
  choice and I doubt that there are any functions missing that
  you'd find in VB.Net. I could be wrong and if so, please let me know.
 
  My other question is that I am looking for training in the
  UK, preferably in the North. I have no idea about
  accreditation or certification requirements and wondered if
  anyone could provide any recommendations...?
 
  Thanks for your time guys.

MANAGING a PHP project can be fun. Remember to track all changes to 
EVERY file, but the ability to drop into a particular function and make 
corrections and changes means that little niggles do not need to wait 
for a full system update like we have with older Builder C++ based 
applications.
