my colleague asked me this question and my response was that I know I have seen a credit card or bank web site that uses it, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was.
I thought I'd throw it out here to you all...but the lack of sites you are finding is.... disturbing?
what does that say about our beloved language? That it's more for garage-coders or gateway sites for delivering other open source programs?

Digg is probably one of the larger sites running on php...Burrito wrote:my colleague asked me this question
Actually i couldn't care less. As long as the websites generates valid (x)html i (and my http user-agent) am (are) happy.Burrito wrote: I thought I'd throw it out here to you all...but the lack of sites you are finding is.... disturbing?
Most websites that i know have a mix of languages to generate their content...
Imho it doesn't say very much about the language itself.Burrito wrote: what does that say about our beloved language? That it's more for garage-coders or gateway sites for delivering other open source programs?
I can imagine that php gives you a lot of flexiblity (and with this comes also a large arsenal of ways to shoot yourself in the foot... which seems to happen just too much...)
Personally i find the fact that there are simply no two l/wamp installations that are the same the weakest part about the platform...
(eg)With Java i know what to expect if the webserver supports a certain 'Web Container' version...
How bout this site:
http://www.upi.com/
or
http://www.sueddeutsche.de/
or I believe these guys use PHP as well as other technologies.

Maybe you shouldn't get drunk and surf the forumsd11wtq wrote:I know there aren't many (any?) in the fortune 1000. PHP is however perhaps the most widely used web development language around.
Java is probably on par.
Not getting into that debate though
I was about type something interesting but I forgot what it was

Just joking of course
