how does it stack up to ASP and Cold Fusion?It's a very lightweight thing. Think of PHP3 as an "inline CGI" language. It's not quite like Frontier or Zope--it doesn't have a database or a huge procedural library built in.
Imagine server side includes which don't suck, and you'll get the general idea. ;-)
how is the performance/stability/security aspects?
Good enough. It's a mature GNU program, so it's generally quite stable and reliable. By itself, PHP3 is reasonably fast. But there's a replacement engine which makes it scream. I don't remember all the details.
Cheers, Eric
