I agree, Tim. I have a number of scripts which do everything from
backing up files and databases to parsing email messages and updating
spam filters.

Sure, I *could* do it in C - but why bother? And I *could* do it in
Linux scripts - but then I'd just have to redo them for Windblows.

Of course, I could use Perl or other OS-agnostic scripting languages,
but why bother?

PHP is great for a lot of things. People who think it's only good for
web work are not aware of all of the possibilities.
