Re: native PHP in V5R4???

I actually use mail.yahoo.com also and agree with your speed assessment.
Maybe what I should have said is that PHP is definitely capable of being
used on huge sites, but should one.  :-)

Could you expound on this for the sake of those that are thinking PHP is the
way to go on the iSeries? Of the PHP I have done I have liked it (not enough
to continue with it over Java though).  They have some nice tooling out
there (http://pear.php.net/, http://smarty.php.net/) that certainly
surpasses what we have with RPG CGI.

Thanks,

  It may be a   coincidence that I use Yahoo for email.  It has a good spam
filter.  But if they   use PHP and MySQL, then that might explain why
performance is PATHETIC!    Navigation to previous or next message in a
filtered list may take 30-45 seconds   show a page.
     
    Performance   aside, the larger the application, the more unweildy a
scripting technology like   PHP becomes.  I don't envy the guys who have to
maintain the Web   site.
