"...why would you want to?" Two words: Cost-savings
If CF can leverage existing apps written in other languages even to a modest degree, this greatly increases the value of ColdFusion. We are in this for the money, right? ...not just for the pure love of the ColdFusion gospel? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Aebig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 11:05 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page The real million dollar question is why would you want to? Almost anything PHP can do, CF can do. Almost anything CF can do, .NET can do. Almost anything .NET can do, PHP can do.

Someone has taken it upon themselves to write a Java library, called Quertus, which parses PHP code. Someone else then built upon THAT and wrote a Coldfusion library which references the Quertus library and allows you to combine PHP and Coldfusion code on the same page, pass variables back and forth to each other and more. http://corfield.org/blog/index.cfm/do/blog.entry/entry/ColdFusion_8_running_ PHP I don't know what the speed is (probably not as fast as the native zend interpreter, but still...PHP code mixed in with CF code is pretty kick ass. I read that someone else has done the same thing for Ruby. ____________________________________ Andy Matthews Senior Coldfusion Developer Office: 877.707.5467 x747 Direct: 615.627.9747 Fax: 615.467.6249 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dealerskins.com <http://www.dealerskins.com/> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
