Have they looked at what your wrote? Have they given PHP ANY
thought and a little attention to PHP??
I've been a Perl programmer for the last 6 years. Just about a
month ago someone asked me to do something for him in PHP. I
gave it a shot. A couple of weeks after I took a test at a consulting
company and I scored higher on PHP than Perl :(
But beyond the above, I would never use Perl for cgi. I still prefer
mod_perl for large applications but I'd certainly argue to use PHP
for anything involving a few screen shots.
If your technical people are worth anything they ought to look at
PHP. Even though I did not program in PHP for those 6 years I did
encourage a talented html guy to learn PHP and he did a site for us
using PHP (he and the designer worked on it without my
intervention). I guess because he never knew about cgi
programming in Perl he did not argue for all of us to do more in
PHP.
BTW, if anyone has used the Perl HTML::Template module and
knows a PHP templating module that is as good or better, please
let me know. I might have missed it but I shudder at most of the PHP
template systems I see in comparison.
Thanks,
Peter
