Well, Zend has yet another article why PHP is the coolest kid on the block. They give several good reasons why PHP is great for large-scale apps too (print this out, hand to boss). Here's the link: PHP: Speaking the Language of Enterprise. Also today, PHPBuilder has a new article about using Native Language Support with PHP. Pretty cool for those that need it. (hmm....and just when I was doing a multi-langauge app too. woo!)
And for those for you who can't get enough MySQL, DevShed has an article all about integrating MySQL and ODBC. Groovy.
