    Apparently it isn't easy for you to post messages, either.

     Do you like to use PHP
    I don't think it is easy for me to learn PHP
    PHP is a great language. Is it your first or do you have experience with another web development type language?

    PHP is a great language.

    As high-level languages go, it's a steaming pile of shite.

    Such understatement...<g>

    One thing that drew my attention to Synchronet again is it's usage of javascript & server side
    javascript. I had two of my sites on my public web server that were running php that were hacked (at
    least, I think it's only two; the drive from that web server is in a USB drive case for further investigation
    when I have more time...); I like dynamically generated sites, but I'm not sure I'll use php for that again
    even internally. Too much of a pain to secure...

    I have to agree... the only things it has going for it are broad support,
    and tons of ready-bake apps... mostly combined with mySQL, another steaming pile.

    Apps and modules/extensions. It has wide acceptance because more people
    can squeeze the functionality they need out of it, thanks to the large
    number of extensions that are available. It's just about the only
    embedded language you can be sure will be available on any virtual host
    you pay for. I'd be very happy to explore Embperl/Mason/etc as an
    alternative (because CPAN probably trumps PHP on modules/extensions) but Embperl/Mason/etc simply isn't as common on web hosts.

    MySQL may not be the best RDBMS in the world, but it isn't all that bad.

    PHP is an excellent language for web developers. It does SUCK out of the box for security though. You have to tighten it up and in todays world that should be done by default.

    Why don't you like MySQL? Like anything, it is not the right tool for all jobs, but it sure works well for your typical web apps.

    Compared to ASP.Net, RoR and JSP/J2EE/Struts it sucks ass... not even a security issue... beyond all that, the module syntax is ass backwards and inconsistant... the API for php modules is really bad, they're all global methods... PHP as a language isn't so bad, it's the API itself that sucks.

    now, pear helps a bit, but imho isn't enough, and should have been more like the pear way from the start. Again, the only redeaming thing about it, is there are a ton of ready-bake web-apps for it...

    Why don't you like MySQL? Like anything, it is not the right tool for all jobs, but it sure works well for your typical web apps.

    If you don't know what's wrong with mySQL you haven't had to work with real database issues, or worked with other more compliant, consistant and reliable SQL variants... v5 is a huge leap, but there are still big quirks, and you think they'd have subqueries worked out in their query optimizer by now, instead of having to do a left join selecting on null, which looks alien, vs. a simple subquery where not in...

    mySQL pisses me off everytime I have to use it for more than anything menial and simple...

    Honestly, I equate mySQL to PHP in terms of poor implimentations for their intended purpose... it's better than it used to be, but still pretty sucky.

    Every time I use MySQL my mind goes back to the dozens of ORACLE installs
    I've had to slog through, and to the pathetic SQL*Plus tools that I've had
    to use in the past, and I give thanks that -- at least for non-Enterprise
    work -- there is an easy-to-install, easy-to-use, admittedly-non-complient, cheap-as-dirt MySQL option for me to use.

    Postgres works pretty nicely... and MS-SQL isn't at all bad (though an MS product)... I don't care much for Oracle either... that's a dbms that needs
    a FT dba to be able to do the installs, and answer questions.. ;)

    I am (and at the time was paid to be) an ORACLE-trained and qualified DBA.
    I still preferred MySQL to ORACLE!

    SQLite isn't too bad, it's really not even as functional as mySQL is, but it's small and embeddable, though so is FirebirdSQL, which I like a lot more...
