using php on big projects

[AmadoR]

hello!

I was hoping some external comments on my problem might bring a lead to what to do. the thing is this: I'm in a team that has to develop a web application that is supposed to serve the requests of up to 400,000 users, not concurrently. I'd like to propose php and mysql for this development, but personally I've only use it for relatively small projects.

my question is how convenient is to use php on a system like this, over asp or java??

thanks!

PHP/MySQL would be my first choice but I would take into consideration the webserver and the connection to that server first.

i cant imagine asp ever even comming into the picture when compared to php. .NET maybe, but not plain ol asp.

If you are going to serve that many people is you php/mysql connection speed relitaveley quick. as some servers take a long time to process and others extremley quick and if you are using mysql is you account limited to so many quiries per an hour?

if you dont mind me asking what script are you making.
