To tell you the honest truth... I'd say go with PHP. Euphoria *works*
as a CGI language, but it was never designed for it. PHP is very nice,
and is designed specifically as a CGI language. You have integrated,
well... everything! Database access, FTP access, form handling, file
uploads, even the elusive 'foreach' loop.

I like Euphoria for GUI apps and command-line tools. I like PHP for
CGI and webpages.

P.S. I am working on rewriting database.e into a PHP file so I can
read and write EDS files. That way I can write a Euphoria app to alter
my databases, but serve them out via PHP. If you're interested, I can
send you a copy of it when I'm done. It's not a priority right now,
but I could probably knock it out in one or two nights. I may also
upload it to the Archive.
