ylime_emily Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi all,I have been trying to get our web/IT department to install PHP but they said were afraid it might cause something bad to happen and told me to just stick to Perl or ColdFusion (which they have already). Our department's internal website resides on the same server as many other sites for the company. I've resorted to finding only Perl based CMS's but there is so few compared to PHP. Are they just ignorant/lazy or do they really have something to be afraid of? They said they wanted a business case for it. And I don't have enough knowledge to give that.All comments are appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
