[linux-novice] Php and other languages

[Darcy Whyte]

For a Web application, the following article looks at some of the choices:

Our Web application has a datamart and some processes that need to run in
the background as well (thus my post about schedules).

PHP seems to be a good system for the Web server both in our experiences and
according to the article above. 

Can you point out anything you think is a flaw in the article?

Considering how often I have to patch PHP for yet another security hole
(like, right now), I wouldn't recommend using it for anything.
