Andrew,

I have setup all the environments you are talking about.

CF with MS SQL is much easier to setup and get going than PHP and mysql.

However I have see twice the speed and stability with my applications that are written in PHP and MYSQL. I admit that struggling through all the setup can be cumbersome, but in the end it pays off.

If you can get both PHP and MYSQL up on a Linux box even better. I have been certified in CF and used it for over 4 years. CF does have a rapid deployment phase and works well with mysql. But I believe php has a much more robust set of function, system, and networking capability that CF. Plus the key. Is that it's all FREE...

CF + MS SQL + MS = $3000 + PHP + MYSQL + Linux = Freedom :)

Thanks Curtis, interesting indeed... presumably MySQL is in a different location as CF runs off NT4 or is MySQL a win version?

The reason I am asking is because a solution has been presented to me in CF and MS SQL which I think will restrict future development and wondered whether a conversion to PHP and MySQL in the future be smooth or a waste of time. Not necessarily a full conversion but addons to the site at least.

Set up your ODBC DSN using the MyODBC driver. Set up your database. declare your dsn as normal in cold fusion. have fun.

Hi All

I've had a quick scoot about and could see anything about cold fusion and mysql is it possible to use this combination successfully if at all?
