PHP programmers have to get the latest information and technology from many PHP books and websites. " He says that if a PHP programmer creates a PHP program and does not have other business development goals, it will be made public so that more people can get involved, improve yourself, and quickly improve your PHP program.

Speaking of PHP applications, Zeev Suraski that PHP is not just applied to the web, in the automotive, banking, gaming and other industries PHP is also a big market. He said Zend is also developing a standard development framework Zend Framework, an enterprise-class PHP product "Zeed as a PHP-enabled company, and rightly to compensate for the lack of an enterprise-class PHP operating environment," has been pushing PHP toward enterprise-class applications.

Zend is a PHP-driven company.

Q: Mr. Zeev Suraski, could you introduce the Zend company?
Zeev Suraski: My name is Zeev Suraski, is one of the builders of PHP, Zend Company's founder, Zend Company's CTO. It's nice to be in China, and I've seen lots of PHP users today. Zend is a company committed to the development and promotion of PHP, but also the only company in the world can be called PHP, because PHP three creators have 2 (Andi and I) created this company, and we have been promoting PHP, including fix PHP, add new features to PHP and so on. In addition, we have been pushing PHP into enterprise-class applications, such as our immediate next week Zeed Conference 2006 is to make PHP into enterprise applications.
Q: When it comes to PHP friends, they often talk about Zend. Excuse me, what is the relationship between Zend and PHP?
Zeev Suraski:zend provides a solution for PHP, but not that PHP is Zend, PHP belongs to the PHP community, there are more than 5 million people around the world in the development of Php,zend company is just a catalyst for PHP.

Q: Can you talk about why you developed the PHP language in that year? You know, in the 97 and around, the Web development language ASP and JSP have been more popular.
Zeev Suraski: At that time I and Andi (another founder of the PHP language) are still college students, we need to do a web-based software project, but also good support for Linux, but the ASP is not very perfect, JSP is more complex, so we chose PHP. Then, we found that PHP is still a bit inadequate in our work, so we joined in the expansion and development of PHP, and later developed the Zend Engine. PHP's performance was greatly supplemented by the addition of Zend engine, and many people started using PHP, so we were very happy.
Q:. NET is also one of the mainstream programming languages. What is the connection and role between PHP language and. NET language?
Zeev Suraski: Companies like Microsoft are also fully aware of the importance of open source and drive it. NET long-term development, so PHP and. NET are co-exist, and PHP can also be bundled with Windows. I think Microsoft is going to promote the Windows platform, and PHP should not be too much conflict.

PHP6 integrates many features such as Unicode

Q: What are the measures or strategies Zend this year in promoting PHP development?
Zeev Suraski: First, we will develop the PHP Unicode module with Yahoo, and soon this feature will be used on the PHP6. In addition, we are developing a standard development framework Zend Framework, which hopefully allows more PHP users to build Web applications quickly. Also, we will work with IBM and Uzo to launch a elicpse that integrates Zend IDE development features for everyone.

Q: What are the notable improvements in PHP6 besides Unicode?
Zeev Suraski: Other features are still being developed, such as Web service. WEB service will also begin to be used in php5.x. It also removes some features that were not previously good. However, PHP two features are not lost: first, the use of simple, stable; second, it will not increase performance consumption of PHP. In addition, we hope that PHP6 will be able to use Chinese characters in a country such as China to spread it more quickly after joining Unicode.

PHP is also suitable for enterprise-class applications

Q: We all know that the PHP language is a very simple web building system, in addition to Web services, how is the application of PHP?
Zeev suraski:php can be used in web-based products, such as CRM, OA, etc., such as SugarCRM. In addition, PHP can also be used in many traditional areas, such as abroad, PHP in the automotive, gaming, banking and other industries also have a great application.

Q: What is the purpose of Zend developing Zend platform products? How should Zend platform be used in the enterprise?
Zeev Suraski: First This is for business reasons, PHP needs to go to enterprise applications, zeed as a support for PHP companies, and rightly make up for the current lack of enterprise-class PHP operating environment this blank. Second, according to the specific use needs of enterprises Zend platform function is more, mainly to help enterprises improve PHP performance, improve stability, reduce development costs.

PHP programmers in China contribute very much to the development

Q: How does Zeev evaluate the level of phper in China?
Zeev Suraski: There are a lot of PHP developers in China, and they are quite skilled in PHP. I would like to emphasize that it is the contribution of PHP development engineers in China, PHP development only today.

Q: How should China's phper further improve itself?
Zeev Suraski: To keep learning good habits. PHP is easy to get started with, but PHP will continue to have new features, so hopefully China's phper will not stop learning. Phper to get the latest information and technology from many PHP books, PHP technology websites (such as: phpchina.com). For enterprises to understand PHP before use, and then start using PHP for development. If a phper creates a PHP program and does not have any other business development purpose, make it public so that more people can get involved, improve yourself on the one hand, and improve your PHP program quickly.

Q: In China, PHP is seen as a relatively low-end program developer, what do you think?
Zeev Suraski: First of all, we used to work in China's market is not very good, because the promotion of open source language in China is not so developed abroad. But we will be more aggressive in the future, such as PHP6 's Unicode. And we have partnered with Comsenz to set up the phpchina.com platform in China. We can use this platform to publish the latest PHP news to you, and also through this platform to listen to more phper on PHP views. In addition, we develop some commercial products so that PHP can adapt to the needs of enterprise-class applications. At the same time, we will actively let our products in the Chinese process and product updates to keep in sync, so that domestic business users can easily use. I think at this point, Comsenz and phpchina.com will help us achieve this.

Php+apache+mysql is the best combination.

Q: For a website with more than 1 million users, what PHP version, Apache version, MySQL is appropriate?
Zeev Suraski: If you are a person or a company that has just started using PHP, we recommend that you use the latest version, and if you've been using PHP for a long time, you don't have to keep upgrading.
Q: Will PHP's relationship with MySQL and Apache continue to evolve?
Zeev Suraski: Yes! MySQL is a very good database, Apache is currently the most popular web Server. And the cooperation between us has been very smooth, we will strengthen the cooperation with MySQL and Apache in the future.

The biggest feature of PHP is simple
Q: What do you think about the future of PHP? Will it become a complex development language like Java? Will you always stick to the Web language feature?
Zeev Suraski: Yes, PHP is ultimately the result of web development, and we have been adhering to this concept, the future is the same! We want PHP to be the best development language for Web development. PHP succeeds because two points: the first is that it is simple, and the second is to get a lot of support for PHP enthusiasts. So, starting with the 1th, we'll keep PHP simple for this feature. Therefore, if we need to add a new feature in subsequent versions of PHP, we will definitely not use it if the new features seriously affect PHP performance. There were people who complained to us that PHP5 had become complicated, and that PHP5 's function was not strong enough. So, anyway, we'll keep PHP simple, high-performance, and so on, and this city is no doubt.
