Web programming...Was PHP update and directions

   The Zend product may be the answer, but here's a fast question for the
   list:
    
   I've got a client who wants to be able to allow his customers to view
   information about their invoices over the web. If the customer wants to
   dispute one or more line items on the invoice, there should be a check box
   next to each line item. When the customer finishes checking off the
   disputed items and presses a submit button, my client's company will be
   able to get a notification about this and pull up the account for review.
    
   The back end is not a problem. What do you folks think might be a simple
   was to facilitate the front end process?
    
   Thanks

     Thanks for the info.

     I use Net.Data, it sounds like change is in the wind.

     Hello,

     I met some guys from Zend technologies and asked them about iSeries and
     PHP.

     As I promised, here is a summary of the topics that were discussed.

     Why port php to the iSeries?
     ----------------------------
     Because IBM has asked them to and provided the necessary incentives.
     The PHP learning curve is not as steep as the Java learning curve, and
     rpg programmers will find it much easier to adopt.
     On the one hand, IBM was disappointed with the weak penetration of Java
     to the iSeries world. On the other hand, IBM was looking for a
     replacement for Net.Data. On the gripping hand, PHP has proven to be a
     very successful environment for web applications development.

     porting PHP as a native Apache module instead of running it as a CGI
     engine in PASE.
     ------------------------------------------
     I did not receive a clear answer, I hope to get one soon.

     Will there be a conversion program to port Net.Data to PHP?
     -----------------------------------------
     Zend are planning to write a tool to help with this conversion, but they
     are not sure if it will be released to the public or used only
     internally in their professional services group.
