The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Oh, man, what you can do on the web server in one day on a Linux box. You
need some Linux weenies in your shop.
Ref PHP, do you use Windows, .NET, Java, SQL Server, HTML, CSS,
Javascript?
PHP/HTML/CSS/Javascript. Some mySQL. Windows is to me a legacy system, a
highly non-productive and executionally inefficient legacy system. Nice
scroll bars, though :)
PHP is lovely, and will remain lovely and only improve on the IBM i in the
coming year.
I'm sold on the Node.js approach personally, but 2-tier PHP is a fine
option I and my clients are dealing with.
Do you have support contracts for those? Just food for thought.
PHP/HTML/CSS/Javascript on Linux with various connection strategies to IBM
i works.
The bugs are listed, and you keep up with them on the mailing lists.
There's probably more PHP out there written in the past 10 years than all
the RPG in IBM history.
There are probably more PHP/HTML/CSS/Javascript geeks out there under 40
than there are IBM i and IBM z programmers all together.
If you use open source, web searching is your support contract and the
Internet is your help desk. With more immediate and relevant answers than
commercial support.
