Especially since 75% of that are still on PHP5.3 or 5.2 ;) But I had forgotten the comparison has a breakdown by ranking. I made the unsubstantiated comment about big sites not using PHP which of cause this shows, but there is no reference to the alternative PHP engines? One question that does come too mind is "Why is python so popular with the bigger sites?" Is it because compiled builds are fully supported? Certainly if any of my own sites traffic started to take off I would be looking down that avenue, so while improving the speed of interpreted working is important, it is still stability in the language that blocks uptake? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
