Bah.  PHP will work great for them.  It's a nice language that's improving
very rapidly with a large development community.  No matter what language
they chose, I'm sure someone would cry "foul play!" and "politics!"  I'm
just happy that they're using more Open Source software because it makes
my job easier when approaching management to do the same.
