IBM Backs PHP for Web Development

Posted by Zonk on Friday February 25, 2005 @03:50AM from the echo-"free-languages-equal-profit" dept.

Christopher Reimer writes "C|Net is reporting that IBM will be getting behind the open-source language PHP for its WebSphere server software and tools. From the article: 'Big Blue's public commitment to PHP is significant because the company has the technical and marketing resources to accelerate usage of the open-source product.'" Evidently PHP is indeed becoming more popular.
