I will be posting a way to build a class in PHP with what I would call
witango objects. Functions and such that mimic witango tags, to help
port. I should be able to start posting code examples this weekend. I
won't be posting them on the list, because they just get lost on the
list. I will post them on http://devcom.bighead.net
There will be some other very helpful stuff for porting to php, and
plus you can ask questions.
If others want to do the same for CF, or JAVA, or .NET, whatever, let
me know, and I will set you up to moderate parts of the forum. If you
are interested, post in the general help section above.

Janet,
I feel your pain. I have been busy downloading stuff and poking
around. I have read hundreds of pages on just the install stuff for
Apache, MySQL, PHP, ColdFusion, .NET... I even spent a day on
nothing but open source. I have a spare server I have been thinking
of using just to try some stuff out. What is really daunting is the
pages upon pages and gotchyas on just an installation... not to
mention the additional downloads needed to make it work in Windows.
Funny... I have about 60 sites, some getting well more then 100,000
page views per day... well over 1,000,000 visitors per month in all
- all on one MSSQL dedicated server and two dedicated Witango
servers runninng Witango 2000. Never a slowdown and has been rock
solid for over 8 years. 16 e-commerce sites, 2 Data Access
Managements sites, 4 forums, 12 internal employee sites for some
very large corporations, one very large directory site, 2 online
streaming PDF sites and a smattering of... well, just websites. Now
I am losing sleep because I am so worried about what direction to
go. I spent a very large amount on the corporate license thinking
that this was the way to go and have spent much time and resources
in developing all I have going. I never upgraded because of the
20,000 plus I dished out and I remember the days when it was
discussed that the editor would be able to output ASP and possibly
PHP code... but that never happened or was just a pipe dream.
Frankly, I thought it would have been a great idea to port output of
the editor to more popular languages. Anyway... enough crying in my
beer. I went this route and now I am going to have to do something
about it. I just spent most of the day trying to install PHP and
getting the "hello world" to work. Tomorrow, I might try to see if I
can actually connect to a database. This is going to take me a
little while...
