CodeCharge?
-
Greetings all!
I've been reading on here for a while and enjoy it, especially the lounge! Lots of personalities in here ;) I mean that in a good way of course! I was wondering if any of you have ever used a tool called CodeCharge? ( http://codecharge.com/php-org/ )
I've never done any php development before. Recently I was asked for a quote on development of a front end for a Web app (that will be connected to a database... they are supposed to be forwarding the database schemas, ect sometime before the end of the week so I guess that means today!). They already have a hosting provider that they want to stick with. Mostly I work with ASP. and this hosting provider doesn't have any nt servers nor do they have chillisoft....they support PHP.
While I suppose I could expand my "horizons" and actually learn PHP....well I’m not going to waist more space justifying why I don't want to ....I just plain don't want to :laugh: k? So, then CodeCharge was pointed out to me. But I’m a little uncertain of it being all it claims to be.
Anyone have some experience with CodeCharge they care to share....or any other advice?
Greatly appreaciated!:rose: qomi "Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent."

Ada Byron King: Countess of Lovelace (1815- 1852)Never used CodeCharge, but I have done both ASP and PHP programming. Like you, I started with ASP. I decided to try out PHP, and let me tell you, it's not that much different at all. In essence, all you have to do is learn the subtle nuances of the language (for instance, there is no equivalent to "Response.buffer=true" - if you want to redirect, you have to use a Meta tag or call the redirect before your code outputs anything). The functions names are largely different, but for every ASP function that I have encountered, I have either found a PHP equivalent or an easy way to mimic the desired behavior. So, in short, if you're willing to put in a couple of hours to learn PHP, you won't find it much different than ASP programming.

If ASP and PHP are so similar in functionality is there anythign that does set them apart, i.e. performance, tool support, etc.? I actually don't get a choice, my web host only provides PHP support, but I was curious. Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am. Salamander Software Ltd.

Each has its pluses and minuses. Once thing I really miss in PHP is the recordset - it would be SO nice to call "rs.Update" rather than construct a horrifyingly long INSERT statement. But oh well. I have never done any ASP programming with a SQL Server backend, only Access. Compared with that, PHP/MySQL blazes when loading pages. Other than that, though, I haven't really done any benchmarking. PHP it not noticably faster, nor is it noticably slower, than ASP. I like them both, so I use them both. As far as tools go, I use Homesite 4.5 to edit both ASP and PHP files. It works equally well on both. I guess the short answer is, no, I haven't seen anything yet that sets PHP far apart from ASP, or vice versa.

Jon, Thanks very much for the info. It's good to hear that I haven't ended up with a duff site host and scripting language ;) I recently posted about my new .biz domain for my business, Salamander Software, from which I'm hoping to develop a few online services using PHP. It's nice to know my money hasn't been wasted :) Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am. Salamander Software Ltd.
