I don't know about the Zend Platform but I do use WebOrb/PHP 1.3.2 with PHP 5.2.0 without any issues with the latest Zend Optimizer, if this helps.
WebOrb/PHP does not provide any database connectivity, as such, in terms of helping you connect to any specific database. I had no problems in diging up some generic PHP code I got from php.net online help to handle SQL Server 2005 database connectivity and query processing tasks. I have been able to clean that code up quite a bit. In terms of making WebOrb/PHP run queries against SQL Server 2005... I was able to plug-in my MSSQLDB class I pulled from php.net right into whichever Services I coded using WebOrb/PHP. Since the Service is nothing more than a PHP Class one can interface any PHP Class to any other PHP Class using standard PHP coding techniques and so I was able to do this and it worked well for me. As I am also new to PHP I assume I can do anything I can get the compiler to execute however stupid the actual coding technique might be is not my primary concern at this time. I have spec'd out some improvements to WebOrb/PHP to bring it closer to the functionality of FDS, well sort of, I know FDS is just a better product to use but I have gotten into this PHP thing so I am seeing how far I can push the language before I switch back to Java and FDS. * Shared Memory for WebOrb/PHP would be a good thing to allow SQL Result Sets to be cached or to facilitate inter-client messaging. * Inter-client messaging for WebOrb/PHP would be another good thing however I would have to use a polling model until I can figure out if PHP can send RTMP messages proactively. PHP doesn't maintain any running code in RAM, as far as I know, which makes PHP a bit more problematic for handling messages that originate at the server more of a problem other than to do so whenever a client hits the WebOrb/PHP server at which time messages could be dispatched from the server to the client(s). * Dynamic creation of Destination End-Points would also be nice but this could be done using an Abstract Destination that simply dispatches Service invocation as needed - this would also tend to break the End-Point/Service model but what the hey, whatever it takes to make my life easier is okay with me. It's a pain to have to edit the End-Point config file anyway so I am all for architecting that need into the past. I am not sure if any of this helps anyone - I simply enjoy tooling around with things to see what I can learn that may be useful later-on. ----- Original Message ---- From: Sajid Hussain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 12:37:50 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Suggestion ..
