Dynamically Typed:
PHP Sharp (PHP and .NET?)
Dec 27, 2004 @ 14:07:50

Harry Fuecks over on Dynamically Typed has something that, in his words, may give you cause to choke on your turkey leftovers.

A couple of years ago, Alan Knowles did some experimenting with getting PHP to run under .NET. He documented his expierences here. Alan managed to put together a working PHP compiler and reached the "Hello World" stage, I believe. Of course there's a long way to go from Hello World to something that's actually useful, such as how to implement PHP's function library. Things that make you think only the insane would want to attempt.

Well it turns out a group of Czech programmers were insane enough to do it - meet Phalanger, a PHP compiler for .NET.

And, cue the choke....PHP and .NET (supposedly) working together in harmony. Don't believe it? Check out the phpinfo() that he posted for the details. Also, be sure to check out the comments and add your own. I know this is one disucssion that is going to get quite interesting...
