<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've been lurking here for a while now
and now want to break that habit. My background is as an analyst for EDI
messaging but I have a growing interest in PHP. The company I work for
has been using MS SQL Server and Access for developing applications and
the cracks are really beginning to show. I've been tasked with finding
a replacement platform for building applications that do things that the
main ERP can't do.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">A while ago I had some PHP training
at Open Advantage and this has been useful (thanks Elliot!). I am curious
what people think of using PHP as opposed to Ruby or Java and with PHP
would anyone recommend using one of the many frameworks that are available
like Cake, Symfony or Codeigniter?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">thanks</font>
