There are some times when one language does something more easily than the other (mostly PHP in my experience), yet there is entirely too much code written to change mid-stream. I've considered passing data back and forth using WDDX packets from a PHP app to a CF app using CFHTTP to call the other page. This might be a workaround if you need the functionality from a standard PHP library and can't write a custom CFX tag to do it yourself. One thing that comes to mind is Boutell's excellent GD library. Very often it is compiled into PHP, and I've often wished I could make GD calls from a CF page but never got around to trying to code the CFX module. -B _____ Brian Panulla [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chief Information Officer 814.238.6680 Elmwood Media Group www.elmwoodmedia.com ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-linux%40houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_linux or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
