I'd like to have you post the 40 lines of cf code to this list so we can see if it really takes that much work to accomplish 1 line of php. Sounds like something is radically wrong. -Jon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 5:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: PHP versus CF Development Speed? Having coded pretty extensively in both CF and PHP (and some ASP -- sloowww), I'd still give the crown to CF. PHP -- as mentioned -- is a little uglier in database access/query output. But then, so is any language compared to CF, at least to me. Where PHP shines -- and cuts development time -- is it's Perl-like attributes: robust regex support and so on. I recently had to write a custom tag for CF, about 40 lines of code, that took ONE line of code in PHP and Perl. So you really can't say one is faster than the other without some qualifications. That said, I still think that CF is -- for appropriate task -- significantly faster than PHP, UNLESS one has a library of PHP modules (object-oriented PHP, classes...) that one can cobble together relatively quickly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
