Check out the FAQ at www.php.net there is a link to a nice little white paper on the PHP vs. Cold Fusion debate.It is very objective, and very well written. Basically, it states CF is too slow and resource intensive, when php can do the exact same things with almost no overhead. It did go on to say CF is easier to use, but your web server has to be beefier for the same performance. Just my 2 cents.
