Google uses PHP!
Just saw this when installing the toolbar. Let's hope their just using the PHP3 extension not the build!

I think Yahoo's use of PHP is making people think twice before thinking that its a crap language, cos all of a sudden (over here anyways) I'm beginning to find PHP books amongst the shelves instead of ASP

Yeah, people are beginning to take it a whole lot more seriously and if I went to bookstores I would probably find the same thing

Who else of the 'biggies' uses Php?
I've heard somewhere, Amazon, is this true?
Let's make a list... That might help to change the minds of some providers who won't support it...

Well then, what more proof do you want?
PHP is a great language that is not too hard to learn but is also very powerful.

All the proof i can get. Not for me, but for this ********* of a provider.
The customer is a well known local charity and the provider is one of their sponsors, and I would redesign their site for free...

Once again PHP wins because more 14 year olds use it than smoke cigarettes. Just a fun fact: There are currently more .NET job openings right NOW than there have been in all PHP's history
As far as books, I'd love to see a single bookstore carrying more PHP books than C# and ASP.NET books.

I'll need luck, or I'll need to find another 'provider/sponsor' for them.
These guys at that provider are real .NET heads, it's like nothing else exists.
They just get so damned arrogant about it, it pisses me off.
I was programming in assembler when they were still in nappies for crying out loud!!!!
Anyhow, all in a days work i guess...
I'm going to bed

I've never used anything other than PHP in web development. It was a friend that got me on to it about 6 months ago and I was hooked. Way better than C/C++

"Better overall"...
And the ".NET heads" are closed minded?
You go ahead and have your fun in the PHP forum then, patting each other on the backs for small advances and ignoring the leaps and bounds of other programming languages.

Here's another fun fact about PHP - in it's entire history, groups backing PHP as a solution have probably spent, in total, less than $100,000 marketting it. And yet it's the worlds most popular server side language...
Hats off to those 'nicitone free 14 year olds' - sure will be interesting when they're old enough to start making the decisions in companies

Dont deny it, it seems like every time a pro-php discussion arised you're always in there with the snide "well .NET blah blah blah blah so there" type remarks.
Its getting really boring.THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ARE OLD AND MAY BE INACCURATE.
THIS INSTALL METHOD IS NOT RECOMMENDED, IT MAY RUN

But for small sites with some simple CMS, which is the niche I'm looking for, I'm under the impression it's rather cumbersome and expensive. That's why I decided on PHP as my first server side weblanguage. It seemed to meet my requirements better.
What I do think is close-minded, however, is for a major provider ('major' in this country) to completely ignore a popular language such as PHP and be smug about it.
That is just bad service!
