A PHPsolution, in my opinionwill always cost more than a webdna solution.. especially now. The cost ofWebDNA istrivial at this point when you consider everything. PHP is free? Hmmm, tellthatto programmer that you are paying. Tell that to the database company, or the"solution" that you choose to use with it. Labor cost for a developer, orthetime it takes to "build stuff" drowns any perceived intial cost of theproduct...especially now.So, though there will always be plusses and minuses of different solutions,Igenerally disagree...I think Christophe said it best:"Imagine you have two ways to reach the top of a mountain, a quick andcomfortablecable car for 10 dollars and 15 minutes, or a long, winding mountainpathway, free, but arough lengthy walk" (which would you choose)Anyway, I find it suprising that we are still having discussions like this.Everybody say it with me...WebDNA Has Been Rescued.WebDNA is back on it's way Up.:-)I say, lets just finally realize this and focus on making cool stuff withit.Donovan (getting back to late night WebDNA programming on a Saturday night)-- Donovan D.
