PHP+MySQL+Apache

Hi everybody....

I'm quite new here and I noticed how fast and reliable is this forum powered by phpBB (which has MySQL as an backend I guess).
My question (and not a rethoric one) is this...Could PHP+MySQL+Apache be used to develop a information system for managing resources at an small enterprise level (and I mean accounting stuff, customer relationships, production planning etc.). I know MySQL has now support for transactions and in the future they're planning to add stored procedures support...I know PHP provides speed and cold be more optimised with Zend technologies...I know Apache is widely used as an webserver...I know that only a lousy browser is needed on client side...But could all these joined in an integrated solution (not a mission critical one, but anyway close enough to this)?

As an responsible for this at my company, I seriously consider this solution, but I could use a second opinion (even many...)

Thankx!

It could with MySQL 4, but for aaccounting stuff you are much better off with PostGreSQL.. Apache and PHP are fully capable..
