[nyphp-talk] In hind sight

In hind sight, I could have used mod_auth_mysql just as well as mod_auth_digest/mysql using htaccess the way I do now. Duh! But, it's considered more secure. So, no loss. ___ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.or

[nyphp-talk] mod_auth_digest/mysql

Guys, The site's going live around 8p.m. using the variation of mod_auth_digest authenticating against mysql, that I wrote/modified, today. Pretty exciting. I didn't disturb its general behavior. It still behaves like mod_auth_digest. And the browsers, well, they still behave like they do t

Re: [nyphp-talk] PHP Compared to Cold Fusion

I know a guy that's managing a company running on CF and he very much wishes that he had gone with PHP or even Python. The availability of developers to work with CF is much more limited. -b. csnyder wrote: 2009/2/5 Peter Sawczynec : Anybody got other techie reasons why CF would pale compar

Technical commentary IT commentators have offered various critiques of ColdFusion, discussing both the potential advantages and disadvantages of this technology relative to other alternatives. * Bootstrapping: ColdFusion is not a general purpose programming language. It cannot be used to crea

Re: [nyphp-talk] PHP Compared to Cold Fusion

Hey Peter, I'm prefacing this by saying I love PHP and it is my language of choice, but I also have extensive experience with ColdFusion and I don't feel like all your statements about it are completely accurate (also playing devil's advocate a bit :) ). 1) From my experience, ColdFusion devel

Re: [nyphp-talk] PHP Compared to Cold Fusion

My first toe in of a sales pitch is already over. In this SW Florida area where I am there is a surprising amount of CFM in dynamic web sites. And, then a surprising amount of .NET. I have to tell you, the area is very uninformed about opensource. In my initial discussions with people regarding

Hey, We are moving away from CF. Finding talent is difficult, and what can be done in CF can be done CLEANER in a different languages. I'm speaking to the this syntax. CF does have some nice PDF abilities and has been using "binded" queries for a long time. It is more $ because of the cf se

[nyphp-talk] PHP Compared to Cold Fusion

Good Day All: Can anyone in their long experience of coding in numerous languages enumerate some of the pros and cons of Cold Fusion (CF, CFML) especially when compared to PHP. My basic thoughts are that CF: 1) is more expensive to program ($$ per hr. pd. to programmer) 2) not as simply and total
