Re: node.js AND php?

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

node.js is a javascript server platform.  It can run a webserver and an
ever-expanding list of other applications.  The "sell" is that it is
javascript so you are theoretically in familiar territory if you already
write javascript for the browser.

I just put together a chat app with RPG being the chat "client" and
node.js (with socket.io and express.js) running the "server" side which
means that web clients can post to the chat stream as well as RPG 5250
clients.   All runs on i.  I could add a PHP client to the mix as well
(but with a web server being both client and server, adding PHP to the
mix would be overkill).

It depends upon what you plan to do with node.js and what part of PHP
you want in the mix.  On i, you can do*anything*  (except run Windows....)
