That is a good point. I have a large framework for converting to php from witango fast, direct port. But after running, if it is a well trafficked site, I have to rewrite much of it. In witango I used methods and hacks to get around a lot of shortcomings, and many ways of doing things in witango, can be done MUCH more efficiently in PHP in another way.

Any takers?

I don't know about that. I totally have a different "framework" with PHP than I had for Witango. When using the Witango developer studio, perhaps
we're locked into conventions that aren't "convertible"?

I think the "point" of using the studio, it was/is easy enough that it
did/does a lot of the work for you. Drag an "if" icon and fill in the
blanks. A lot easier! Build the SQL call for you? Why not?! See what I mean?

I have converted sites from Witango to PHP or ColdFusion. We have ONE
remaining site using Witango (it uses 9 different domains/UI, one SQL
database). I just don't have the time (i.e. Money) to convert it.

Sorry to NOT hear what the status is for Witango...
