APEX vs PHP

752054Oct 31 2010 — edited Nov 3 2010

Hello everyone,

I'm about to start an online catalog for schools where teachers upload grades and parents can login-in and see them.It's not very complicated, just a form and a few reports(looking for a nice user-friendly interface).
My friend (and co-worker on this) it's PhP fan, and he knows nothing about Apex(as i don't know much about PhP), so after we lined up all the ideas and ended up chosing a platform.This is our problem!

I love APEX (and i'm pretty good at it) and this would be my favorite. The problem is that he keeps saying that Apex is poor and that lots of top Alexa's sites are Php(Facebook,Wikipedia,etc).

It would be nice if you APEX guru's could give my some arguments to suggest that APEX pawns PhP + MySql.I'm sure that i can make this project in APEX but I really can't find any convincing arguments in front of PhP.
I don't think that pricing is a problem since we won't expect more then 200 visitors at once and 10g XE could make it i hope :).

Kind Regards,
Bogdan Ursea
