Re: alternatives for WebDNA

texte = It's going to depend on what your webhost has installed or is willing to install of course. From what I understand, a PHP/MySQL combo is probably the most popular way to go. You've experienced the learning curve, some find it easy, others it gives headaches. ColdFusion would certainly handle this, but if your new host doesn't have the licensing for it, the costs would run up around what he'd pay for WebDNA I believe, so that may or may not be an option. ColdFusion is tag based and fairly similar to WebDNA. ..ASP/.JSP/.NET are all also alternatives that I have no knowledge of other than it seems slow and complicated. :-) I'll throw this one out there, and I haven't had time to play around with it but have spoken to the developer via a talk-list and off-list a number of times: NuclearVision (http://www.slproweb.com/products/nvml.html). It's cheap and the syntax is pretty straight-forward and it offers ODBC database connectivity. Also, it will run on various platforms (so he claims).
