Any URLs for that? I don't know, but in San Diego I heard Rasmus talking about a project by Sascha Schumann that would generate Java bytecode from PHP scripts. I don't know if the project went very far, but despite it seemed very challenging, I think that with a lot of JNI classes it would feasable. If that project is ever accomplished, I thing that basically you would not need Zend Engine for most PHP applications. With that in mind I could certainly why Rasmus eyes where shinning when he was talking about that project. No wonder why Sascha was said to be Rasmus favorite PHP developer. :-) Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
