Maybe I'm just a bit weird, but I just read
about (and started playing with) SQLite on PHP5 beta.
Wow.
Combine SQLite and PHP-GTK, and you have an INCREDIBLE development environment
for client-side or client-server development!
Wow.
I spent the last year putting together a 50,000 line software package, and did
it all with data arrays because using SQL would be too "heavy" and a pain to
write an installer for all the various releases of Windows, MacOS, Linux,
etc. to be supported.
So many loops, so many painful recursive functions...
foreach($clients as $key => $client)...
But, if SQLite is BUILT IN...
select clients from clienttable...
I could probably re-write this in 30k lines or less with SQL support.
Wow. PHP-GTK2, Glade, SQLite. It's like LAMP all over again, only on Windows,
OSX, Linux, Sparc, and god knows what else. This is truly a platform for
quick, powerful, multi-platform, client-side GUI development under
development...
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL PHP-GTK2 IS OUT!!!!!!!
W00t!
