Well, it's like this. The whole ColdFusion deal SUCKS. It was basically a waste of $700, though not out of my pocket. Apparently there is "work being done and the project will be completed soon", though I've been hearing that for the past 3 months. It's not that big of a deal since we only made a downpayment and any kind of legal lawsuit would cost a lot more. Other factors also made it destined to fail, like finding a Windows server (since CF won't run on Unix) and the costs associated with running the application. But that's ok, we really don't even need it at this stage of the game.
We do, however, need a database redesign. PHP-Nuke is freeware that's highly customizable, secure, expandable, and upgradeable. It isn't hard to learn either. I'm not paying any more for any redesign, and since it's PHP front end and MySQL database, it should work out fine (this is the setup most sites actually use). I'm setting up a test sub-domain and once that's up and running I'll hopefully be able to show you guys some of the tinkering. If I have time between that and school.
The point of this thread is to get your input on PHP's pros/cons, as well as any downsides/vulnerabilities of the ever-upgraded PHP-Nuke.
