Just some info for FB folks playing with PHP (or thinking about it)...
I'm moving a couple hundred domains over to a dedicated RaQ3 server and
since I don't have a Linux copy of CF (yet) I'm porting some of my apps to
PHP. I'd looked at the "webbox" stuff on phpbuilder.com and wasn't really
looking forward to it...
However, I found that if I didn't care about my apps being called from other
apps, the port was _very_ quick and easy. The PHP switch structure is very
much like CF's version (and unlike JSP's version which just sucks) so
index.php looks a lot like what we're used to. Here's a little chunk:
<?php
include "app_locals.php";
switch (trim($fa))
{
case "homepage":
{
include "dsp_header_01.php";
include "dsp_homepage.php";
include "dsp_footer_01.php";
}
break;
case "subscribe":
{
include "act_subscribe.php";
include "dsp_header_01.php";
include "dsp_" . $oldfa . ".php";
include "dsp_footer_01.php";
}
break;
default:
echo "$fa not defined";
}
?>
I've been doing PHP for a grand total of less than a week, so there may be
better ways of doing certain things, but I had my first small site ported
over (including database access to mySQL) within about 3 hours.
I hope the fuebox.org site ends up with some PHP info on it soon. (hint
hint) :)
