Hi,
I started PHP in 1999, and wrote just one Web Site based on it. I started to
have a good feel for it and found it easy to implement, as well as it being
powerful. Shortly after that though, I was given the opportunity to learn
Cold Fusion, and haven't looked back since today.
I've got a possible contrat that I'm interested in taking on, in PHP and
MySql. What I would like to discuss with everyone, (it might more relevant
to past or current CF programmers - I apologise if it's a litte OT), is the
best way to get back into PHP from CF?
When I got into CF, I found it so much easier than PHP - I loved
Datasources, as they are so simple to connect to the database. Just give it
a name and - bingo. I also found it so much easier, and quicker, coming up
with code for querying and retrieving data from DBs, and displaying it in a
Table. And combining it with HTML is a dream, when with PHP I found I was
getting errors, and horrible ugly Tables.
Are my fears in "re-learning" PHP well founded - or might my experience in
Cold Fusion have helped?
I'd be really interested to hear your comments.
Will
