Zend Developer Zone: Report Review Open Source in the Enterprise
by Chris Cornutt July 30, 2008 @ 08:43:22
The Zend Developer Zone has a review posted of a report that the O'Reilly Radar group put out concerning Open Source software and its place in the Enterprise business today.
It's not often that a report generates this much excitement but "Open Source in the Enterprise" says a lot of what needs to be said to C-Levels considering making the jump to Open Source.
Cal mentions one of the 6 factors that are driving more and more businesses to open source software (like PHP) - the community that surrounds them (how vibrant is it?). He also points out the concept of "vendor lock-in" and how open source can help companies accomplish it by ridding themselves of proprietary software. The report can be gotten from the O'Reilly Radar group for $399 for an individual copy or $995 for a sitewide license.

PHPImpact: Enterprise Web Services Framework for PHP
by Chris Cornutt July 23, 2008 @ 11:11:41
This new post on the PHP::Impact blog talks about the enterprise level web service framework for PHP, an implementation of WS02 for PHP - WS02 WSF/PHP.
It is the only PHP extension that supports a wide range of WS-* specifications. With the framework enabling the use of PHP in SOA implementations, WSO2 WSF/PHP is the ideal extension for integrating PHP legacy systems into enterprise SOA.
Federico notes some of the features of the framework including secure services/clients, binary attachments, automatic WSDL generation and interoperability with .NET and J2EE. You can find more information on the project at its page on the ws02.org site.

CIO.com: PHP's Enterprise Strengths and Weaknesses, Take 2
by Chris Cornutt March 18, 2008 @ 11:19:37
As is pointed out both by Cal Evans and the Zend Developer Zone, there's been another article posted due to the response from the (now infamous) CIO article - "PHP's Enterprise Strengths and Weaknesses, Take 2" (by Zend's John Coggeshall).
So, in the digital toolbox of the developer, where has PHP been designed to work best? And where is it, perhaps, not the best tool for the job? [...] While other languages can surely be used to solve The Web Problem, in this article I explain why PHP is the premier solution for server-side Web scripting.
John talks about how PHP was written for the web, how it approaches and handles web requests, the security of the language and some of the major software packages that are being used in PHP development today (like the Zend Framework, PHPUnit and PECL extensions).

CIO.com: You Used PHP to Write WHAT?!
by Chris Cornutt January 30, 2008 @ 13:47:00
Stefan Koopmanschap has pointed out an interesting article over on the CIO magazine website that has some in the PHP community a bit up in arms about comments it makes towards the language.
The article, "You Used PHP to Write WHAT?!", covers the basics of the language - its status in the web programming world, the functionality it offers and the database interfaces it includes. They also include a hit list of reasons PHP is popular and why it's a good choice for your project.
Then things get a little strange - they move from their PHP praise to three things that have more to do with unresearched "facts" than the reality of the language:
- Security and PHP
- Working with PHP and the shell
- Scaling and PHP (in enterprise environments)
These incorrect assumptions have lead to many comments both from the PHP community and from users of other languages (like Java and ColdFusion) sharing thoughts on the contents of the article and the language in general. Check out the article's comments to see for yourself.
