Hi guys..

Lately i've been try so hard convincing company to use open source such PHP.
They are so hard to accept that PHP is a great thing, they only believe in payable things, majority from Microsoft of course. So they dare me to do a presentation why Opensource is better than the payable things, is it secure?safe?worthy?bla..bla..bla..So right now i need help from all of you,where i can get a complete article or information,complete with the comparison between PHP or Opensource world and the payable MS stuffs.
I really dont have much time and i need your help.
i think php.net dont cover all information to brief the managers as it full of theory...HELP!!

- If you're talking to managers, just mention the cost effectiveness of it. There's no startup fee, and no on-going costs. If they're looking at another language like ASP, also note that PHP can run on Apache, which is much more bug-free (ie: more secure and cheaper. If you really want to scare them, say that an Apache server is less likely to get hacked and all the corporate secrets stolen :) ).

- While this is arguable, PHP has one of the largest communities behind it. This means that a) any bugs found are patched more quickly, and b) there's more help out there which leads to faster development time (and again, less money).

- The biggest thing to note is that a web application is only as secure as the coder makes it. While there are, of course, strengths and weaknesses, the biggest thing that determines an application's security is how it is designed.
