I used to worship Larry Wall, and the creators of Perl. Note the word used. Then, i moved to a server that supported PHP3. 'Whats that?' I asked the server admin. He told me, and i decided that it sounded ok, thinking that it would never be as good as perl. I looked at the php website, and my jaw dropped to the floor. I was stunned, it could do everything. All the functions needed to do most tasks are included, as well as perfect MySQL functionality. I was about to go buy a book on perl. Instead, i taught myself PHP3. Now i code PHP3 applications for my clients, and have recently completed extensive modifications to many scripts, and created my own PHP3 scripts. I fell that I have alot more power with PHP3, especially when it comes to databases. Perl still has a place, for example file management. But for everything else, i use PHP3. I don't have a single perl script on my site any more, all PHP3. And an increasing amount of client sites that i make are in PHP3. Good stuff guys!
