I'm so curious to know whether Google uses PHP or not.
Not in a way you'd notice. The only references to PHP you can
find on their corporate site are in job ads requiring "complex
coding experience in Perl, PHP, Python, or JavaScript" or
somesuch. All senior positions require C/C++ and an advanced
degree in CompSci. So my guess would be, PHP is used, but in
support applications only.
Also heard that Yahoo is moving from yScript to PHP. Any idea
about their database?
Michael Radwin of Yahoo! just gave a talk at OSCON 2003 titled
"One Year of PHP at Yahoo!":

Also, Yahoo! provides PHP/MySQL for their Web hosting clients.
Their implementation of PHP is kind of funny though. It's a
CGI (not Apache module) install; allow_url_fopen is off, and
cURL is disabled. According to Radwin, cURL is allowed for
Yahoo!'s own apps, though...
