PHP<->Google?

I'm so curious to know whether Google uses PHP or not. Some pages on
the net says that Google uses PHP. Is it true? If so, what database
they use?

Also heard that Yahoo is moving from yScript to PHP. Any idea about
their database?

If anybody knows the info, please share...

Not in a way you'd notice. The only references to PHP you can
find on their corporate site are in job ads requiring "complex
coding experience in Perl, PHP, Python, or JavaScript" or
somesuch. All senior positions require C/C++ and an advanced
degree in CompSci. So my guess would be, PHP is used, but in
support applications only.

Michael Radwin of Yahoo! just gave a talk at OSCON 2003 titled
"One Year of PHP at Yahoo!":

http://public.yahoo.com/~radwin/talks/

Also, Yahoo! provides PHP/MySQL for their Web hosting clients.
Their implementation of PHP is kind of funny though. It's a
CGI (not Apache module) install; allow_url_fopen is off, and
cURL is disabled. According to Radwin, cURL is allowed for
Yahoo!'s own apps, though...

Yeah. Already seen this page. But, I would like to know Yahoo's
database.

This link ( http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...3Dphp%2Bgoogle
) says that Goolge uses PHP. But, no info about the database.

At least the first versions of there spider were written in Python.
You can find this comment if you use the google toolbar and look at
the page rank of the www.python.org site.

Don't know if they still use it today.

Nope. And the funniest part is, I posted it via Google Groups, too...
