From my point of view, the purpose of continuous integration when used with technologies such as PHP (or any other interpreted only language) is mainly the package genaration, automatic deploy of the application and the generation of any kind of report (since there is no compilation procedures).
With that being said, I use some continuous integration practives with a PHP application, having an ANT buildscript just to automate the tasks such as Identifying what have changed since last release, labeling, packaging this diff and automatically deploying it to the stating server. I use a tool called 'Luntbuild' and ANT (of course) and have no complaints about it.
What about the rest of you? what do you think?

Just curious to know who in the group is doing SCM and/or continuous integration with Web based products (read PHP)? What tools are you using?
I'm new to the list today, btw.
