this all started when rasmus had a problem with the "click" in my original post and i think i proved that if you are a member of the php development you better not stray from what the php gods think or else you will get hanged in public or even banned or ignored.
then i suggested that zend isn't really doing much to "develop" an encoder or accelerator since one guy has been able to do the same thing and rasmus is like of course not silly if microsoft sold their products for what they cost it would be $0.02. so fine zend is ripping people off, what's the point? well it has been damaging to php is my point. no one knows what php is and no one will pay you to do php. why blame zend on this? no matter what rasmus says that 600 people have access to the cvs, php is zend and zend is php. after that is when all the little minions started acting tough so that the cool kids would like them better. here's the original post that i made, maybe people should reread it: --- There is a free php accelerator so I don't know why you would pay for one. www.php-accelerator.co.uk The same guy (Nick) has also just made an encoder. It is in beta testing right now and there's no windows version yet but that should be coming soon. I think it's like $0.50 to encode your program which is much more affordable. http://www.php-encoder.com I think the problem with zend is that they have put up the guise that php is an opensource project but to actually use it in production you had to pay several thousands every year for the accelerator and the encoder. It kinda feels like a bait and switch to me which is why I personally think zend is bad for php. Just do a search for jobs for asp, cf or jsp. There are a ton of jobs for these languages and you would be lucky to find one for a php developer. So zend rakes in the money and does no real marketing with that money for php is the way I see it. You'll never hear anything from the core php group since they are a tight click so it's business as usual. Now that Nick has released the free accelerator and an inexpensive ($0.50 per shot) encoder it might change but I don't know if it's too late. -----Original Message----- From: Maxim Maletsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: August 4, 2002 1:26 AM To: 'Acer'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: Protect PHP coding It hurts no one. Believe me. Do what. Download PHP package and put it on sale. We'll let you do that by our license. Actually, yeah, here I go - YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW. 600 people worked hard on PHP for over several years and thousands of servers do us the real-life test. Just sell it. Will we get hurt? Ufff.... whata pain ....
