php is right tool for job?

Hi,

I've been playing with php5 with Smarty templates and mySQL4 and PEAR
DB for e-commerce. This combination seems to work very well but I was
wondering what other other combination of programming tools would be
good. JSP, ASP, C#? I don't know about those languages or how they
compare to php. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Peter

If you're doing it for yourself, and not for job advancement or such, then I
would say stick with PHP. IMO, it's easier than the rest - certainly it's
easier to get a site up & running in PHP. Besides, with the others, you
limit yourself to Windows servers... :(

I've done stuff like that in VB.NET. Given a choice I still do PHP, FWIW

I was thinking j# - not jsp. Never heard of being able to run c# on a linux
machine before. C++, yes, c# no. Certainly not if it's .NET

Tony,

C# and J# are Microsoft abominations which other platforms have not
(thankfully) implemented.

I'd much rather do something like PHP which is platform independent than
be beholden for the rest of my life to any single company - be it
Microsoft, Red Hat, IBM or whatever.

I need a tool to browse text files with a size of 10-20 Mb. These files have a fixed record length of 800 bytes (CR/LF), and containt records used to create printed pages by an external company. Each line (record) contains an 2-character identifier, like 'A0' or 'C1'. The identifier identifies the record format for the line, thereby allowing different record formats to be used in a textfile. For example: An A0 record may consist of:

Hi everyone. I'm looking for the right tool for a job. Hope someone can help. The deal is this: We have a large amount of data which is maintained by non-programmers. This is validated and exported to a series of text files. These text files are parsed into memory. Third parties are also able to modify these text files.
