PHP5 Co-Creator Interview

Posted by timothy on from the are-you-going-to-disneyland dept.

mandozcode writes "I came across an interesting interview with PHP co-creator Zeev Suraski at Open Enterprise Trends on the latest upgrades for PHP5's First Release Candidate (just released a week or so ago). Sounds like lots of improvements to help make it in the enterprise, including better bundled support for SQLlite and XML. Also encouraging, looks like Zend is getting more millions in VC investment."

    That's fair enough, but PHP will probably never have the breadth and depth of modules available as you can find on CPAN. Perl is more mature and doubtless has more disciples. For "enterprise development" (whatever that means) (although JSP/servlets and .NET would probably be more suitable than scripting languages), given the choice between PHP and mod_perl, I would go the Perl route simply because it is more mature, and has an aura of stability and security.
