When is php going to grow up?? I want to be able to write php store procedures inside any of the major databases (Postgre, Sql Server ,db2,Oracle,Sybase) I want php to be one of the .Net languages supported by Microsoft (like perl, or C#) so I can write my windows GUI based applications. I want to be able to compile my php applications. I want to run a php application server (EPB Enterprise PHP Bean)(similar weblogic,websphere,etc) and all the cool things it implies(load balancing, transactions, messaging etc, etc). I think PHP is too good to stay where it is. José O.

You can compile it and even encode it. But you can't package it yet. :-( > I want to run a php application server (EPB Enterprise PHP Bean)(similar weblogic,websphere,etc) and all the cool things it implies(load balancing, transactions, messaging etc, etc). It would be a great step forward! With the CLI sapi you can run a PHP script as an executable program. With a CORBA, COM or XML-RPC you can make your script act as a server application (that's not an apllication server). > I think PHP is too good to stay where it is. I agree. Even with some opinions that PHP isn't made for enterprise services, that it's only a "Web Script Language", I think that, in the near future, it will hit the enterprise services as a free software application server language. There will be a long path till then, but PHP5 is a start and there are a lot of developers contributing for it.
