Last I heard the Pricelessware List is a list of programs.

Good catch, Susan. I checked the link provided and could find no software to download, only an introductory tutorial, an online manual, and links to example archives and other resources. If there's something like a PHP editor or PHP compiler, that would qualify, but a "language" itself or even runtime libraries alnne wouldn't be appropriate for inclusion in the PL2009 ballot. We have about 10 days of nominations left. If someone can provide a link to qualifying software and at least one other ACF participant makes a second, it will be on the ballot. If that doesn't happen, then Susan is correct and "PHP" can't be listed on the ballot. For now, I'll leave PHP as "nominated but needing a second" to allow interested parties to find such a link or point out where the original link leads to a qualifying freeware "program". ========================= This brings me to another point. In the next couple of days, besides the full nominations list, I will be also be posting the nominees in a different format and posting links. It would be helpful if some readers took the time to follow some of the links and report any problems noted. It's easier to handle at this stage than it might be a little later down the road.

You didn't look very hard http://www.php.net/downloads.php Explain why AutoIt makes the grade and not PHP? Pretty please. -- *** Justice for freeware programming languages ***

I think of it as a scripting language mainly for use on web sites but that does'nt mean it is'nt a program. To run it, it needs to be compiled into an executable, etc. From the above web site: "What is PHP? PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML." -- Frank Hahn
