PHP integration with Cocoon

[Jean-Baptiste Marchand <jb...@alternative-advice.com>]

Hi,

I've recently discovered Cocoon and it seems to be a really interesting
project. Thanks to Stefano Mazzochi and the whole team for their great work !

I've seen on this mailing list a thread (end of january) about PHP and 
Cocoon, ended by two interesting messages : 

- one of Sam Ruby, saying he was working on PHP integration with Cocoon,
saying that the new versions of PHP 4 (beta and now release candidate)
could be used as servlet.

- one of Stefano Mazzochi, in which he said that the Cocoon team was
working on the possibility to use PHP for the logic of the pages.

I would like to know if someone has been working on this and what are the
Cocoon team's plans regarding PHP integration.

Thanks for your help.

yes, Sam will be working on that when adding other scripting languages
to XSP but don't ask me when or how :)

I would support it but I know nothing about PHP so I won't be able to
help. You should talk to Sam if you want to give a hand.

I know that PHP 4 *compiles* as a servlet, but I haven't tried it
yet. integrating it into cocoon would be, basically, calling the PHP java
code as annother XSP lang, right?

I'm not, currently, but am now considering it, as I like PHP, and it ahs
some nice form validation-y things in it. Plus I see these XML support
options as well....
