texte = Don't get me wrong, I LOVE WebDNA... Been using it for many a year and have done some really cool projects with it. I do have to say I have been using PHP now pretty regularly for about 8 months and have found it to be a very nice language. Yes it is free, and if you want to do anything in PHP you will need to build it yourself.. There are no automatic shopping cart features like WebDNA. It does support a bunch of things which WebDNA does not at this time. XML, Arrays, Classes, Function, Sessions, Graphic manipulation and creation, OOP. There is also a bunch of folks using Fusebox (http://www.fusebox.org) methodologies with PHP - and that is a really big one for me.PHP is a whole lot like C. It is a programming language not a markup language like WebDNA (and ColdFusion). I will continue to use WebDNA, especially for shopping cart stuff, but with the speed that PHP is growing, I think it is pretty important to know... At least a little bit.- CharlesOn 1/31/03 5:51 PM, Nitai @ ComputerOil
