Re: PHP on WinCE

Hi Wez, > I know; it sounds insane, but has anyone tried compiling PHP for WinCE? > A client is potentially interested in a "micro PHP" application for PDAs > that will keep in sync with the master application on an (inter|intra)net. At the PHP Conference last Year in Frankfurt, one of the visitors from Munich told me that he was working on some PDA stuff, but those PDA's used a "normal" Windows, if my memories are correct.. I'll try to look if i still got his businesscard, maybe you could talk with him about that stuff. > I'm thinking that a lightweight php cgi/cli binary is all that is needed, > along with that http server written in PHP that Jason (IIRC) has been > working on. > I've got a bunch of WinCE dev tools as part of MSDN, so I don't mind > starting the effort on a port in a couple of months time. hm, what are the advantages of doing a PHP for that WinCE PDA's, instead of doing the client Application (the one on the PDA's) in a language like C? > Anyone out there got any comments/suggestions on this? > I'm trying to gather some "intelligence" on the matter before recommending > it to the client. well, i guess you can kick out a lot of stuff for your "micro PHP", maybe you need to write a extension to access a database system that may run on those PDA's (?!) if you dont want to use flat files for your data storage.. regards, Peter Petermann
