corba, javabeans???

[g_grillo]

Hy there,
I'm used to programming ASP and I'm starting just now with PHP... I'd like to get some opinion about which "method" to use to do the same thing I do using COM objects in ASP.
Do you think I should use CORBA or JAVA or somethingelse?
Please "help yourself" telling me the technic you prefer and why

I also code very much with ASP, VB & .NET. I have been coding in PHP for a few years now as well. I have never had any need (at least in Web dev) to use anything else for *NIX. If it's the object oriented interface you are seeking. I would suggest using PHP classes. If you want that compiled byte code (which probably does run a bit faster ... maybe much faster. I just don't know! 😉), then I cannot offer any assistance.

As for 3rd party COM objects...you know, the ones you have to pay for! I have noticed you get them because ASP & VB cannot handle some type of Web task due to intrisic limitations. PHP, on the other hand, has a function for just about everything I've ever needed.

Cheers.
