Re: [PHP] php-cli vs python
I use PHP extensively for command line processing. Why not just try it and see if it works well for you?

Re: [PHP] php-cli vs python
Hi. One big diferrence is that python can be run interactively, while php not. That's a really good advantage to debug the scripts. Anyway, use the one you fell more comfortable. 2007/6/7, Abdullah Ramazanoglu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello, I'm already (going to) use php for web based development. Shell scripting and compiled languages have their own places, but there's also a place for a high level scripting language.

This is a rather strategical crossroads for me, and I'd very much like to make an informed decision. If you want to have any sort of code re-use, then you're going to have to use php (or python) for both. Otherwise you have to start again from scratch in python code (creating more places for bugs to hide and making the whole thing more complicated). While they can access the same database, there's nothing else they can share. Personally I'd stick to one or the other for the whole project, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches in the future. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
