Re: native PHP in V5R4???

["Gerald Magnuson" <gmagnuson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I mean easier, here, where I work..
We have a older flavor of CGIDEV programs, while we have a guy coding
the latest and greatest stuff with PHP...
Honestly, I have only done web apps via CGIDEV, and I'm sure that we
could definitely streamline some of those processes.
Well, it appears I was incorrect about PHP being native to i5OS V5R4,
could I also be wrong about PHP being better than CDIDEV???

Explain the easier comment for accessing DB2 ?  CGIDEV uses native RPG
Database IO that in my opinion is faster and easier and gives you more
control that other methods like SQL.

I see PHP as a form of DDS-5250 replacement...
(yes, it is so much more...)  I see that PHP pushes
And pulls from the DB2 database so much easier than CGIDEV.

My $.02 worth
