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

Re: [PHP] What the heck is this Zope?
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. hth, --ed - Original Message - From: Deependra B.

How long is a piece of string? Horses for courses. 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. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Afternoon very favorable for romance.
