Re: PHP, Zend, & mod_perl

[Graeme B. Davis]

Roxen will work with PHP, but it already has it's own tag language: RXML.
With it (and Pike, it's scripting language), you can do pretty much all that
PHP can do.  The syntax is more friendly as well (IMHO).

SQL functions in Roxen look like this (simple example)

 <sqloutput query="SELECT recap FROM game WHERE id=+gameid+">
  #recap#
 </sqloutput>

+'s are for form values passed to this page, etc.

Real.com uses it for most of their servers.

It's very easy to learn and create dynamic content.
