    php is right tool for job?

    Hi,

    I've been playing with php5 with Smarty templates and mySQL4 and PEAR
    DB for e-commerce. This combination seems to work very well but I was
    wondering what other other combination of programming tools would be
    good. JSP, ASP, C#? I don't know about those languages or how they
    compare to php. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Peter

      If you're doing it for yourself, and not for job advancement or such, then I
      would say stick with PHP. IMO, it's easier than the rest - certainly it's
      easier to get a site up & running in PHP. Besides, with the others, you
      limit yourself to Windows servers... :(

      I've done stuff like that in VB.NET. Given a choice I still do PHP, FWIW

          You can't run JSP or C# on Linux? You sure?

                  I was thinking j# - not jsp. Never heard of being able to run c# on a linux
                  machine before. C++, yes, c# no. Certainly not if it's .NET

                      Tony,

                      C# and J# are Microsoft abominations which other platforms have not
                      (thankfully) implemented.

                      I'd much rather do something like PHP which is platform independent than
                      be beholden for the rest of my life to any single company - be it
                      Microsoft, Red Hat, IBM or whatever.
