I am the software development team leader, and introduced PHP about 9 months ago. The decision to use PHP for non MySQL / PostgreSQL database applications is linked to the success of ODBTP. This is probably the most important reason why I decided to introduce it to this list. That fact that it is working for me is not good enough. I need to see how well it performs within other environments.
No, I have never been involved in any open source efforts. Everything I have done has been for "in-house" purposes only. However, since I do use a lot of open source software, I do feel obligated to contribute something. I primarily write code for the Windows platform, and the only code that I have written for UNIX is on Solaris. I t would be nice for someone to create a "configure" script, since I have never had a reason to do this. > I would be interested and likely to assist at some > level in helping you release this code.

I am currently working on packaging it in a tar.gz file. If the response is low I will only release it to those who have shown an interest, and if it becomes higher than I will release it to the list. It is very important to me that the people who acquire it actually will use it and provide feedback within a reasonable time period. I do not want to feel like I put it in a "black hole." And, yes you are one of the three. -- bob > -- > > I have been working with PHP on and off for about 3 > years now.
