RE: JSR 223 -- WDSCI-L

Different people like different tools. 

A lot of people like PHP. It's grown from 2 million to 20 million domains in
4 years (http://www.php.net/usage.php) and it's currently the most popular
module installed on Apache servers (which are the most widely used servers
on the Web)
(http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200408/apachemods.html). PHP
also has a higher programming commununity index from TIOBE than Delphi,
Python, and JavaScript (http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm).  I just happen to
fall into the crowd of those who like PHP.

I think Colin's point is that if you plan on using the Java toolbox to 
access the iSeries, and you want to run the application in WAS Express, 
then using PHP over JSP is a suspect choice at best.  If you are going to 
make the investment in WebSphere and Java then you might as well just use 
JSP.
