there's the job.

the two are mutually exclusive. however, neither can be ruled out. your
assumption about 'has to be different' is completely unfounded. i've built
entire crm solutions using nothing more than. your assumption just means you
have some foregone and equally unfounded misgivings about php and/or mysql.

who knows what your employer has? who cares really. you need to think in
terms of how a company runs...how it does business. *those* are the
processes. you would be translating them into code. the processes can be
handled by a myriad of languages and db's...not excluding php and/or mysql.
as for 'the job', one of my first IT jobs was as a system's admin of a call
center. we used sco unix and ran an outdated user front-end that resembled a
dos screen. i programmed the branching logic for the prompts the user would
read. it was a propriety language for that software. we also used bash
script to push/pull data to/from us to corporate. we also used vb to
import/export phone lists and analyse and communicate campain results. we
used tcl/tk to monitor our d-mark and phone banks. before i left, we
purchased a window's based product to do all of that...written in (what else
at the time?) vb 5. now, there's call center solutions written entirely in
scripting languages and delivered over the web - which completely takes out
the need to push/pull data from one data source (corporate) to another (a
call center). what are those written in? asp and, you guessed it...php.
again, think in terms of how a business does business...and, don't rule
anything out as an option unless you know that option *very* well. if i knew
you knew better, i'd be cussing you out for saying either php or mysql
couldn't handle this...i just know you don't.
