RE: [PHP-WIN] PHP4/Win

I know it probably sounds like a MS attack, but companies have no reasons to use windows as THE platform for their WEB interface. I'm very sure that linux will continue to beat in stability and reliability. Personally I'm getting sick of the inconsistancies of MS stuff, I think they have a very good client platform if you don't mind the reboots and nessecary continueing save's. But I'm hired to optimize the network and diliver stable solutions for our company and so I use Linux as much as possible (except for the workstation's). I have to say though that microsoft purchased a very good RDBMS (yes SQL server) and like to use it, but sadly you have to do the monthly reboot to make sure that the server OS NT won't lock up ;) Ehm, I'm kinda ofbeat hear probably, but I always like the argue's I get from posting non-ms friendly stuff ;) L8r, Jeroen. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Gustafsson [mailto:cloaked@hem.passagen.se] Sent: vrijdag 6 oktober 2000 16:37 To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] PHP4/Win Okay, so you guys here have the same problems as I with the ISAPI module.. Although personally I can't even use it for my spare-time project either =) How many others of you feel like there should be more time put into the windows part of PHP? I know that this, for some, is like trying to beat yourself to death with a spounge, but in reality there should be many of us that don't have the resources to swith from win to linux without serious implication on the internal workings of the company (and it's clients). I personally have come to fall in love with PHP4, it suits every one of my needs. It's easy to learn (if you're already familiar with C syntax), it's easy to structure (and I put much effort into structuring my code for maintainability issues), it's open source (now who could argue with that?) and much more. I think most of us, when aiming at a large scale enviroments, wants to have an ASP replacement. The PHP code and syntax, the ability to use the same COM components (which we as a company already have access to through contact, and that aren't available in the linux enviroment), and the resouces, combined with high performance.. Now that would be neat, but it isn't possible without a stable ISAPI module (most of us lost people use IIS you know).. since ASP is as crippled as it gets. =) -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-windows-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-windows-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
