Enterprise PHP

Thursday, February 10. 2005

I'm always looking for good points that I can mention if someone asks me whether PHP is enterprise-ready or not. My primary interest in the industry is enterprise web portal development in PHP, so I was glad to read Marco's plans months ago. Hopefully he's still interested and works on this.

Today I found some convincing lines on the Zend website that one can use as a reference:
"PHP has proven itself across a range of large enterprise deployments at companies worldwide including: Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Lufthansa, Dresdner Bank, Disney Online, Yahoo!, Lycos, Sprint, T-Mobile, Orange, Nortel Networks, Lucent, WallStreetOnline and Siemens."

There's actually a discussion in the Sitepoint forums about Advanced PHP Programming in Corporate World for those of you who are interested.

Update: Top 20 IT mistakes to avoid: Underestimating PHP in Harry's blog entry.

Uh... I think that would be:

"Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Lufthansa, Dresdner Bank, Disney Online, Yahoo!, Lycos, Sprint, T-Mobile, Orange, Nortel Networks, Lucent, WallStreetOnline and Siemens"

Interesting... what about my local record shop. That's an enterprise and if PHP can do good for that enterprise, then it must be enterprise ready, right?

What a load of old rubbish!

The question isn't: Is php enterprise ready. The question is, are the php developer enterprise ready :D...

No, I believe the question is: "Is the enterprise ready for PHP?"

PHP is most certainly in use in the enterprise.

No, I believe the question is:
"Is PHP ready for my local record shop?"

not:
"Is my local record shop ready for PHP?" ... coz it is, and it has been for ages.
