Re: native PHP in V5R4???

Aaron,
     
    My impression of   PHP is more favorable after following up on the links 
you provided.  Smarty   looks like a good way of separating UI files from UI 
control logic, and it looks   like PHP supports the development of modular code.
     
    I'd hate to give   up the native database interface and superior 
performance of RPG, but it   looks seems possible to write well structured Web 
interfaces with   PHP.

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,
