We've used PHP before but I don't like it, that is correct. At this point
I don't want to be responsible for securing a huge foriegn code base
for a system that doesn't really even conform to what we have, and would
cause me to rebuild the entire server and make all the modperl, apache
code base we have obsolete. This is also the server we teach off of.
I'm really not game for this. Even something like PHP builitien board
is a major PIA to secure.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
