Actually, Netware isn't specifically a "direct" competitor of Microsloth. Netware is strictly a NOS (network operating System), where as Windows is a network, server and client OS. Now, this certainly isn't meant to make it look as if I like M$, but I used to work on my company's General Motors account, and GM has (literally) the world's largest NDS Tree/Novell Network. Frankly, it's not all that great. Whether Wind-woes 2000 and AD will be better has yet to be seen, but NW isn't too great either. At any rate, no, there is currently no (supported/official) port of PHP to Netware, and frankly I doubt there's much, if any, work being done on such a project. At the rate NW is losing it's customer base, there may be more client's with OS/2 then servers with NW soon.

Actually, NetWare is a very different operating system than Windows. It's a direct competitor to M$. Way more stable than windows. If PHP is available for NetWare, someone must have ported to the platform to run either as an NLM or with the JVM. There's a queston: is there perhaps a java executable version of PHP? If so, it could feasibly run on NetWare. The Netscape Enterprise server for NetWare supports ASP, which is not preferable to PHP. I'd really like to stick with PHP.

Hi there, Is PHP available for NetWare? I've looked high and low and find no reference to such a beast. I prefer PHP on my Linux box, but I need to explore being able to put it on a NetWare server running Netscape Enterprise. TIA for any pointers in the right direction.
