Enjoyed reading your article sent me down memory lane 🙂
Recently I was asked by a friend to build him a 'newsletter subscription page with admin' - being a donet dev by trade it got me thinking how do I come up with a solution on a Linux hosted environment and here php was simply awesome so light I had implemented auth, session handling and displaying data from a MySQL dB.
Important point here is the fun factor I was smiling and enjoying the work I had to learn php but didn't take long its so well supported and mature now and it really does fit its niche perfectly so this has completely changed my approach to freelance work (for the better).
I'm a web developer, graphic designer, type designer, musician, comicbook-geek, LEGO-collector, food lover … as well as husband and father, located just south of Copenhagen, Denmark.

PHP is in some ways the succesor to Classic ASP - if you could upload a static database-file, like an Access .mdb, it would be very similar.
