Zend Core for IBM technical roadmap

March 4th, 2005

IBM has an interesting article up: Zend Core for IBM technical roadmap. I have high hopes for this relationship.

The article talks about web services support, XML support, and database support while briefly mentioning security. I think its safe to say that these are the things that enterprise users are interested in.

While the object support is what interests me most about php 5, I think that support is simply assumed by enterprise customers. In other words, adding this support isn’t a feature, its a bug fix.

The article also discusses PHP 4 versus PHP 5, offering the assessment:

The majority of production PHP servers today still run PHP 4, and that balance is not expected to shift to PHP 5 until sometime in 2006.

    To me the missing item on that list was i18n. Sam Ruby made some interesting remarks in that direction while talking about PHP and Unicode.

    Perhaps what IBM could help deliver is an extension based on ICU (which was one of the projects they added to Sourceforge – http://icu.sourceforge.net/).

    Todd W,
    I see that you don’t have the brains to comment on the study from Mass. General and Harvard that I exposed as pure fraud.

    We want our invites to make our guests as excited as we are to celebrate our big day! They should be a representation of us and our wedding: Casual, fun, unique, and very good looking ;-)
