All right then, what's so great about PHP? (I don't really know anything
about it, but to me anything where code is embedded in HTML seems so
primitive. Total dynamic page generation (as done with CGI) still seems the
sleekest, best way. Or am I missing something? And PHP is yet another
language to learn! With Java and Perl Web stuff you've got languages that
can be used in other non-Web situations, too. Does PHP have a stand-alone
language? Plus how do you scale with PHP or anything that is strictly
embedded code in HTML? (I'm being curious, not offensive here.)
