[NTLUG:Discuss] If the php3 list fails to answer a question thenwho do I ask????

[Robert Barker]

We switched from NT/CF to Linux/PHP for our corner of the corporate intranet
primarily because of scalability.  With upwards of a million hits a day on
our site, NT/CF just could not handle the load.  Linux/PHP was much quicker,
more stable, etc.  Subjectively, all the developers loved php because it
'felt' better than Cold Fusion in that it was easier to understand the flow
of things, debug, etc.  That, and the fact that php did not add another
server on the box made it ok with us.  Happily, it has performed so well,
that the main corporate intranet site got rid of it's Solaris/Netscape stuff
in exchange for Linux/Apache/php.
