PHP, Zend, & mod_perl

[Ken Gunderson]

Greets All:

About this time a year or so ago I inquired about php vs perl/mod_perl use
with MySQL.  There was healthy debate and I concluded it was about split,
with PHP having advantages in ease of use and mod_perl in speed and
capabilities.  During the ensuing year PHP has added to it's feature list
and grown ever more popular.   One doesn't seem hear much about mod_perl
lately.  PHP enthusiasts have been know to speculate that Zend/PHP4 will
accelerate PHP's popularity into the stratosphere and all but eliminate the
use of Perl for web programming.  Still, the mod_perl and Apache API are
well proven paths.  So I repose my question of a year ago and ask the gurus
to once more elaborate a bit about the relative merits of each and where we
are today on these issues.

TIA-- Ken

P.S.; I am not wanting to start any flame war here.  The pervious
discussion was very civil and quite informative, and I'm sure it will be
this time around as well;)

Ciao-- Ken
