CodeGear Announces General Availability of Delphi for PHP
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. - March 27, 2007 - CodeGear, a leader in developer
tools, today announced that DelphiR for PHP - an integrated visual Rapid
Application Development (RAD) environment for the popular PHP Web
development language - is now shipping worldwide.
Delphi for PHP brings the RAD productivity benefits that Delphi users have
enjoyed for years to PHP Web developers. PHP, designed to allow Web
developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly, is the most
prominent dynamic Web language today and has become one of the top 10
programming languages overall.
The new product from CodeGear can allow developers to be more productive as
they write rich, database-driven Web applications in PHP.
In addition to a RAD environment for PHP, key features of Delphi for PHP
include: VCL for PHP, an open-source PHP 5 visual component library with
more than 50 reusable components and seamless AJAX integration;
out-of-the-box integration with InterBaseR, MySQL, OracleR, Microsoft SQL
Server, and other popular databases; an integrated PHP debugger;
drag-and-drop database application development using the Data Explorer for
InterBase and MySQL; and a code editor with Code Insight, Code Explorer, and
Code Templates. Deployment options include Windows, Linux, Solaris and
other platforms.
Developers who have used a pre-release version of the new product said they
experienced significant productivity improvements.
"Because Delphi for PHP can debug existing PHP projects as easily as it
creates new ones, it instantly starts paying for itself. With contract work
costing between $80-$100 per hour, if Delphi for PHP saves you just 3 hours,
it's already paid for itself. It can do that with your first project. I'll
never use "Echo" or "Print" as a debugging tool again," said Brian Layman,
an Akron, Ohio-based software engineer.
"As a web designer, you're judged on the quality of your work and how soon
it's completed. When Delphi for PHP allows you to offer better products on
a time scale your competition can't touch, your services will be in great
demand," said Layman.
Delphi for PHP is part of a family of products from CodeGear that includes
Delphi 2007 for Win32, Delphi for .NET, TurboT Delphi, C#BuilderR, C++
BuilderR, JBuilderR and InterBase.
