well, of course.. this site/forum is incredible!  what a great resource!

[redbullmarky]

hehe

otherwise, you can normally find out by putting some of the different 'index' pages after the main URL, and depending whether there are plenty of rewrite rules in place will give you the answer you need.

 

eg, i just tried sitepoint:

 

http://www.sitepoint.com = normal homepage URL

http://www.sitepoint.com/index.php = gives homepage

http://www.sitepoint.com/index.asp = 404 error

 

edit http://www.archive.org is also PHP

I am writing something for school, and simply trying to give examples of some major sites using PHP.

 

Also, while I am writing.. what do you think about ColdFusion?  Why do schools like to use that so much?

[redbullmarky]

schools seem to like anything that you can't use for a career. eg, BASIC and Pascal. Maybe CF is different, but I cant see any benefits....

 

YouTube is also PHP

Google for small apps (and Oracle for large ones)

 

http://www.netcraft.com gets server info for 'any' domain.  If it's a *nix box it may well use php
