In a new posting from Harry on Dynamically Typed today, he talks about PHP showing the first signs of a COM for PHP.

Finally! A forum engine you can integrate with your own applications. I assume "every Horde application" means code using the Horde Framework or at least adapting to it.

Looking at the project list it contains pretty much every type of common web application out there. Which is why I get excited about Jan's annoucement - what he's saying looks alot like Windows COM to me - a mechanism to expose APIs from their existing applications to new applications, making useful integration a possibility.

So, head on over, add your comments, and join in the discussion...
