Please, say in some simple words what Zope is and for what it can be used...
Tom, There are probably other guys here that can give you a better comparison between zope and php3. I never used php3 but I used ASP (the microsoft stuff), which is similar (though worst than php3 :-). With Zope you get a server markup language (called DTML) which you can mix with HTML. This concept makes it even easier to program than mixing a scripting language with HTML like php3 and asp do. From what you said I guess you will just need this kind of programming... so Zope will be a better choice than php3. But with Zope you also get *the best* scripting language available: Python. You can add logic to your application by writing external methods or products. This kind of extension is much more powerful than php3, although maybe a bit more complex. Zope also has a great IDE for managing your site through the web. Although I cannot tell you which one is better, if you give Zope a run try and, ... if my instinct is correct, you will want no other thing. hope it helps, pedro -- Pedro Vale Lima eq3pvl@eq.uc.pt
