GIS, or Geographic Information Science, is the study and use of data involving
locations. It's a broad field that includes spatial statistics, cartography, 
routing, maps and much more. 

PHP + MySQL is not a popular combination for GIS projects. However, given
how much of the internet the LAMP stack runs, it is inevitable
that we as PHP professionals will be asked to implement maps and other 
spatial solutions in the software we develop. 

What would you say if a client asked if PHP and MySQL are the right choices
