Re: php vs cold fusion

Hold on. I am a Coldfusion and PHP developer. And yes I use that thing called notepad for Coldfusion and PHP3/4. Easy Hey... <CFQUERY name="test_the_nutter" datasource="test"> SELECT customer_id, first_name, last_name, tel_number FROM customers WHERE (first_name='#form.first_name#') </CFQUERY> <CFOUTPUT query="test_the_nutter"> #customer_id# #first_name# #last_name# </CFOUTPUT> Yep - hardly difficult a 5 year old could write Coldfusion in Notepad after a 5 minute demo. Anyway here is my bit: 1) Coldfusion - 10 times faster developement than ASP or PHP3/4 That is where Coldfusion got it right - We all send mail, we all encrypt a string so why re-invent the wheel and have to write code for this - use a tag <CFMAIL or <CFCRYPT etc...... 2) Coldfusion - more stable than PHP3/4 3) Coldfusion costly hosting 4) PHP4 - Wonderful - refreshing quality software which kicks Microsoft ASP for six 5) Forgot to mention PHP - Free from the good guys from Zend 6) Give PHP to next release and good bye ASP and Coldfusion 7) PHP - runs on Windows, Linux - in fact everything. Come on Zend - Where is the compiler - we are all waiting patiently and excited. Interesting comments when you see who our partners are.

Just how it is. 3 Years Coldfusion - 1 Year PHP3/4. -----Original Message----- From: Opec Kemp ( Ozemail ) <okemp@ozemail.com.au> To: Joe Stump <joe@earth.care2.com> Cc: PHP List <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: 31 October 2000 00:56 Subject: RE: [PHP] php vs cold fusion >> >> One note about "programming" in CFM - how many people do you know that can >> hardcode CFM by hand?
