A while ago I wrote to this group asking for help (which I received)
in creating a SAPI module for our embedded web server: Mbedthis AppWeb.
Thanks to Eric Colinet who helped greatly, we now have a PHP module
and are able to offer PHP to our embedded customers. The result is a
high performance embedded PHP implementation that is ideal for mobile
applications and embedded devices.
Here are a few more details about our announcement:
LAMP goes Mobile
Today Mbedthis Software announced a PHP Module for the Mbedthis
AppWeb embedded web server. In our latest development release,
AppWeb 1.1, includes a PHP module for the high performance use of
PHP and the LAMP architecture in mobile and embedded applications
and devices.
PHP and LAMP have attracted quite a following in the Enterprise
web application market. This module now allows embedded users to
leverage the PHP technology in their devices and applications and
helps to extend the reach of LAMP into the growing embedded market.
Developers can now migrate existing web applications into mobile
devices without changing their application model or having to resort
to proprietary mobile platforms. This AppWeb release allows PHP and
the LAMP architecture to be effectively used in mobile devices and
offline applications. Developers can now leverage their investment
in PHP applications on the mobile side.
We have optimized the integration of PHP with AppWeb for maximum
performance in mobile and embedded applications. AppWeb uses a
modular, multi-threaded core to deliver a highly secure HTTP server
that excels in terms of performance, functionality and memory
footprint. Embedded developers can selectively configure enabled
features for a memory footprint as low as 110K RAM. With PHP and
SSL enabled, a complete server can run in under 2MB. This makes it
ideal for mobile and offline applications. It can also be used for
many embedded applications that require management, web services
and web based user interfaces.
