I tend to bounce back and forth between Perl and PHP depending on the language chosen for the project. I've started writing a simple DB table-wrapper in both Perl and PHP with the same methods. Whenever I switch languages, I often have to readjust to the database APIs - which are often similar enough to be confusing. I've never used a PHP native db interface - only the DB generic Pear::DB and superior AdoDB.
The great thing about sharing a similar abstraction in both languages is that I can use either Perl's CGI::Application or the PHP port and pretty much develop with a similar structure, regardless of the language. My preference is Perl of course - it has a number of fantastic tricks up its sleeve that make it a joy to use. I loooove CGI::Application::Plugin::ValidateRM

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
