Excitement about Delphi for PHP
I was very happy to see my good old friend Delphi while I was searching something for PHP. I always admired Delphi way of developing software applications and was a loyal customer like other Delphi community users. Since I shifted to open source world and PHP, I was thinking that Delphi was not offering me anymore. However, I still keep my good friend on my PC to develop something quickly. I think the RAD nature and power of Delphi will bring a new dimension to PHP world. I hope that the Delphi for PHP project will not be a failure like in Kylix.

Quotation from CodeGear:
“Many web developers today use PHP to develop portal frameworks, forums, and web applications because PHP allows them to create dynamic web applications with solid database connectivity. However, PHP web development has been stymied by the lack of a powerful RAD visual development environment. The existence of an active and vital open source PHP ecosystem with myriad of open source components and options makes the need for an integrated RAD development environment even more critical.”
