Yeah, that covers it pretttty thoroughly.

I think you answered the question CD34. What brought up the question is that although PHP seems to disproportionately dominate the porn site world, in say the world of eCommerce or high traffic sites, writing an enterprise class website in PHP is pretty much unheard of. Your answer though makes it pretty clear though why PHP would dominate in an environment where the fundamental hosting costs make a big difference for webmasters - thanks.

I think most enterprise class websites would be using an OOP language like java or c# because they might have more than 1 person working on the program and it's so much easier to modify later on.
