in reply to Code Initialization

You're not giving us much information there. You mean you would like to maintain the customized bits of scripts centrally?

Since you seem to be using PHP, are you sure you're at the right place here?   ;-)

    So his server has mod_php loaded... So what?! Haven't you ever written a CGI script and run it on a server with PHP installed? How do you know it's even his decision and not his hosting provider's?

    It's one thing to have a personal dislike of PHP. It's quite another to ask someone "are you sure you're at the right place" just because PHP is installed on the server he is using. That's snobbery at its worst.

      Actually, no. I have used Perl to generate PHP source code, to reduce the load on a MySQL database, if you must know. ;-) But that was way back in 1995.

      How do you know it's even his decision and not his hosting provider's?

      That is a good point. I've never been in the situation of being dependent of an ISP in that way, so I did not consider that. I should have.

      ...It's one thing to have a personal dislike of PHP...

      I don't have a personal dislike of PHP. Have used it for years (from 1995 to 1999). I wasn't happy with PHP in 1996 (mainly for reliability reasons) and developed my own templating system. Had PHP been more reliable then, I would never have done that, and for all we know, might still have been a PHP user to this very day.

      And even if I would dislike PHP, I would have a right to it, since "I've been there and I've done that". Not like snobs who disrespect anything they do not know.

    We have several hosts on our server that do use PHP. I'm not using it for the annotateit.com application, though. I'm a perl guy.
      I'm glad to hear.

      I hope the other replies have been of use to you.
