Re: Free PHP for IBM i Users | Zend

Ha! Our last upgrade only happened because the hardware was no longer going
to be supported. Had that not happened we'd still be running along well
past 8 years. If things start going open licensing we'll still be at the
mercy of the hardware gods. The software might be open but that hardware is
still the catch. Just thinking out loud.

Am I wrong in thinking that with all these open source offerings coming to
the IBM i and seeing as how they are not "licensed programs" any more, that
one could theoretically run a V7Rx system forever?

I mean the one reason we were forced to update before was IBM not
supporting new SSL ciphers. With openSSL, that shouldn't be an issue if
you keep everything open source, right?

Just thinking out loud... :)

Community PHP — also known as free PHP — is coming to IBM i. Before

getting into the reasons for community PHP for IBM i, and how it compares
with the PHP for IBM i in Zend Server, be assured that both Zend by
Perforce and IBM continue to support Zend Server as the preeminent choice
for developing PHP web applications tied to dynamic content.
