Re: Why use PHP? What are the disadvantages?

Henrik,

Not to get too far off topic, but I wonder if you might be able to share any significant similarities or differences between PowerExt and the WRKDBF utility at the Easy400 site?

Thanks,

-Nathan.

Yes, it is ExtJS, and all you see is comming from a little minimum sized
515.

Data is served from the same mashine - all written in RPG.

ExtJS has tree major groups that uses it - MS .NET, PHP, and Lotus Notes
people, and they write thousands of statements to achive what you see (in
fact they have to write the same, but has to do it manually for each
program), most of the code you see is written i 2 (two) RPG statements -
and the program was made in less than 5 minutes ;-)

ExtJS runs in the browser, so it can't call iSeries resources directly.

Yes, we will continue to see new technologies such a JQtouch etc. etc., I
don't se the big problem in that.
