But whatever the exact historical details are, the current popularity of MySQL as the back-end for PHP apps is well-documented. > PHP's popularity existed long before this.

If I were in the hosting business a few years ago I would probably have made the same decision on the belief that most people would not need anything more than a few rudimentary database features for which MySQL would suffice. > Blaming PHP for this situation (and your other comments) show > extreme prejudice.

As for extreme predudice, if you wish to grosely mis-interpret my opinions of the limitations of cgi scripts in that way, thats fine by me. -- Paul Thomas +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ | Thomas Micro Systems Limited | Software Solutions for the Smaller Business | | Computer Consultants | http://www.thomas-micro-systems-ltd.co.uk | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
