Request: Add "PHP" as an "Language" Article Tag and "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" as an "Technology" Article Tag [modified]
-
Hi I think it is time to add "PHP" and "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" *See-Note-Below as article tags. The CodeProject site provides article tags for all other languages and technologies (for both Microsoft and OpenSource), but not "PHP" nor "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" ? PHP\LAMP articles are currently bunched under some very generic tag called "Web Development". I have read the previous denials to add "PHP" nor "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" because: - It is not Microsoft - There are plenty of other resources outsite of CodeProject discussing PHP Why the bias against PHP? Believe me, PHP language has a strong presence in the Windows arena, or it would not have been included within "Microsoft Web Platform Installer 3.0". I am requesting for these additional article tags: - "PHP" as an "Language" Article Tag - "LAMP" as an "Technology" Article Tag There is not other site like CodeProject where one can post and share articles pertaining to code development. I have posted C# and C++ articles and prefer this forum for its openest and structure. I would like to see PHP and LAMP articles be presented as an equal to all other languages and technologies as are given to C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, F#, JavaScript, etc.. NOTE: LAMP - Linux Apache MySQL PHP stack WASP - Windows Apache SQL-Server PHP stack WIMP - Windows IIS MySQL PHP stack WISP - Windows IIS SQL-Server PHP stack

WE have PHP, Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl and Python as tags. We also have PHP as a colourisation option in the language dropdown while creating articles in the WYSIWYG editor. Plus, we also have PHP, Linux, MySQL, and Perl forums. I'm not sure where you get the impression there's a bias against PHP and LAMP. We fully support and absolutely encourage articles and questions on this topic. Articles should be posted in the correct section by Topic, not technology, unless the technology is itself the topic. For example, an article on writing a page using PHP will go under Web Development, but will be tagged PHP. I hope this clarifies things.
