I use Eu cgi on a number of websites now.  I'm actually replacing all my old PHP
code with Euphoria code -- works fine.  This wouldn't be appropriate for
everyone, however -- I would use PHP still if I was using MySQL, for instance. 
I'm actually now running EDS as a local server (local to the web server).  Then
the Eu script that generates the pages can connect to the Eu EDS server and
lookup db stuff, etc.  This way only the one program ever needs to access the
actual EDS db files and there are no conflicts and it can synchonize the
requests.  It also stays running all the time so db access is fast.  I also have
wrappers to the RPMs for libcurl and pcre (regex) that I rely heavily on.  For a
really heavy-duty database-driven (EDS probably wouldn't be appropriate if the db
was really big) I probably wouldn't use Euphoria, but it works great for most
things, and I can get things done so much faster because I am so comfortable with
Eu...
