That's not true Yes, a LOT of web hosts are offering PHP and MySQL, but not "most".

My webhost is one of the top web hosts on the net, and has been for a few years (www.web2010.com). They only offer PHP and MySQL for the Premiere Hosting package. The two lower ones don't have it available.

My friend's host (AWC) who he has been with for almost 5 years, doesn't offer either, at all.

A new survey just published, showing Apache modules installed, shows that mod_php is installed in about 36% of the machines surveyed. mod_perl (which is different than Perl... Perl itself *is* installed on practically every server...) is running at 11.5%, which is a shame that it's that low, but has been starting to gain some ground lately.

The url is here if anyone is interested in looking at the results. The listings of PHP and perl (#1 and #3) are mod_php and mod_perl, respectivly.
