Hello magnolians! Personally, I think we should just let PHP die with dignity, and not try to keep "PHP Zombies" in our nice "JavaLand". ;-)
I guess you can infer my opinion of PHP from above comment. ;-) However, for those interested in pursuing Matteo's suggestion, you may want to look at: http://www.caucho.com/projects/quercus/ I think PHP comes with a lot of "Baggage" that isn't needed in the Magnolia rendering engine. I think in terms of having a "widely known language" that it might be more interesting to integrate a JavaScript engine like Rhino.

As we can say, Magnolia has a good rendering system: it is generic, we can plug a custom rendering engine, extends it, intercept.. and many other things. Nowadays, we can run JSP pages, Freemarker script and Coldfusion. My question is: why not using PHP for front end? Imagine how many PHP-addicted developers Magnolia can reach.. Imagine a PHP page that can read JCR and an external, legacy, database.. or maybe a PHP page that uses Magnolia green bars and ImageMagick image manipulation library.. I don't know if this can be done as easy as we added Coldfusion support or Freemarker support. Yes, a *pure* Java user / developer can feeling bad reading this post: mixing Java and PHP? Oh my God.. But for sure, I think that this could start new ways of Magnolia usage. What do you think? I've just search into the past mailing list messages and I follow those posts [1] and [2].. but nothing followed. Did anybody already achieve this thing? Or something similar? Anyway, it is only a point of discussion..
