I am utilizing php as a cross platform general scripting language quite a bit now, not just for developing web applications. With its database , file, and xml functions I fould a great way to a command line application for parsing xml documents to a database, and its fast too. Is anyone else utilizing PHP for anything other than web apps?

We use a combo of shell and PHP for various different things. PHP for the web.
