RE: RE: PHP Support Coming for iSeries!

The only difference is portability....With a minor change of the
DBConnect client used inside of the PHP program, I can run the exact
same code on a LAMP(Linux,Apache,MySQL and PHP)box.

 >> And using RPGIV as a CGI language? fergiddaboutit!

Don't misunderstand me here - I think the arrival of PHP is a good thing
- all those Net.Data users gotta have somewhere to go!

However - I don't understand this comment.  Having looked at smarty, I
can't see any significant differences between it and CGIDEV2 et al -
which I would call from RPG.  Any language can be used as a scripting
language with appropriate support and CGIDEV2, RPGsp, RSP, Cozzi's
xTools, Brad's tools, etc. etc. supply that.

Turn it around and I might ask, since my existing logic is in RPG why
_wouldn't_ I continue to use it?
