I use both Python and PHP on my website to do a variety of tasks. Some things PHP can do much easier than Python, but if you're doing simple things like form handling, Python will do nicely.
If you're comfortable with Python, use it. I find Python much easier to work with than PHP for a lot of things, but PHP works better with dynamic content within html, so I use each one where it's easiest. However, if you're not familiar with PHP, then I definitely wouldn't go out and learn PHP for this; just stick with Python because you'll get it done faster when you're comfortable. -Jay On Saturday 23 April 2005 05:09 pm, Paul Tader wrote: > I have a couple programs/scripts that I want to write that need to be > web-based.
