*** DIGIT 2005 July has an article on PHP-Nuke. "When it comes to Web
sites, HTML can be limiting. Learn how PHP can expand the
possibilities... PHO, the open source alternative to Microsoft's ASP,
is the obvious choice to build a Web site. Why? Because it is
cross-platform -- a PHP site can be hosted on any Web server, running
any OS, unlike ASP, which needs a Microsoft OS -- and because it's open
source. The biggest advantage of open source software is the thousands
of developers who dedicate time to improve or simplify such software."
