PHP and Zend
Larry J. Seltzer of
PC Magazine looked at PHP and one of its support sources, Zend Technologies, Inc. and came to two conclusions ColdFusion developers might find interesting: "But though PHP thrives on hosted servers, it's too immature for a high-traffic business environment. As much as we were rooting for it to succeed in our testing, it failed--especially when we attempted to evaluate on Windows." And (regarding Zend]: "If we have to make a trade-off be tween IDE and debugging, we'd rather use a better editor, such as Allaire's Home Site, and deal with debugging the hard way."
