Try asking on the zope mailing list, or read up on www.zope.org

 Which is better PHP or Zope?

How long is a piece of string?

You pays your money and takes your choice.

Zope is based on Python and seems to be completely object oriented which may 
or may not be a good thing.

Because it is not as widely used as PHP there seems to be less support all 
round (fewer 3rd party code, less support for DBs, fewer libraries etc).

However because of it OO-ness the code is very reusable.

What if the String cannot be split into equal halves?

2002-08-09 Thread ed

Check this page out: http://www.zope.org/WhatIsZope 
.. And click the links
on that page too.
I don't know much about it.  But what I gather is that
it's sort of like an
open source cold fusion type application written in
python.
Not that it necissarily resembles cold fusion in any
way, but that it's sort
of a framework for building web applications.
I don't know a whole lot about python either, but it
looks really cool.  I
think python is probably a better general-purpose
scripting language than
php, similar to perl in that respect.  But as far as
building applications
that are strictly for the web, is there anything as
good as php?
I would probably say no, but a lot of it is a matter
of taste.

Re: [PHP] What the heck is this Zope?

2002-08-09 Thread Lee P. Reilly

My two cents:

I used Zope a while back for a university project, and I've been using
PHP for the best part of a year. Zope is very similar to PHP, but Zope
is better suited for the novice web designer / developer. Zope makes it
easy to interact with databases and allows you to iterate through a
result set using HTML-like tags (DTML) like:

some HTML
dtml-in getAllMyData
bdtml-var getAllMyData[name]/dtml-var/b
/dtml-in !-- don't remember the exact syntax --
some more HTML

Simple web application require very little or no programming. It also
allows you to edit the (HTML) source via a web browser, which (too some)
is an attractive feature. Zope is good for silly little DB apps, and
coding in Python is easy (although the syntax is probably a LOT
different to anything you've used before). AFAIK, it can do everything
that PHP can, but I believe that PHP is faster  it's definitely more
widely used and has a bigger user base.

Lee recommends PHP any day.

I've done quite a bit of php coding in the past few months but never had the
need to use this and therefore never learned anything about it. It's hard to
ask about it because i have NO idea what it is at all. Is it to give
spanning values? I was woundering if anyone knew specifically what it did.
