System i Addict

Erwin Early, whom is on the same SME team with me at COMMON wrote soem articles which I have found informative about PHP and the System i.

Use PHP to Bring i5/OS Resources to the Web

PHP: An Easy Yet Powerful Language Syntax

PHP on i5/OS: A Whole New Stack

If you doing PHP on Linux and your a System i shop, then stop now and look at what Erwin is doing with PHP on i5/OS. I have been dreaming of the day when all of this comes together and I am sure Erwin has a PHP - MySQL - i5/OS in the works.

So if LAMP is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP then I guess we should cal it i5-ADP = i5/OS-Apache-DB2-PHP

WiMP = WEB-i5/OS-MySQL-PHP
PiMHD = PHP-i5/OS-MySQL-HTTP-DB2

Help me out. but I am now looking for a cheap System i to play with. I have tons of Linux boxes laying around but those are boring now.

Thanks Erwin.
