Why use PHP? #1

Open msurguy opened 11 years ago

msurguy commented 11 years ago

PHP doesn't seem to be the best fit technology for this in my opinion, maybe using something like https://www.firebase.com/ ? Or NodeJS?

msurguy commented 11 years ago

Maybe even http://www.pubnub.com/ that doesn't require much setup (you don't even need a backend for it, everything could be done from the JS in the frontend)

PHP allows easy installation on any server or service. Rails would be my next bet but rails/ruby versioning is a bit tricky at the best of times.

APHP based solution would allow even small companies and teams with shared hosting to get up and running.

If any JS persistent framework, I would think meteor. But there are security issues last time I looked into meteor. — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone

Got it! Then Laravel PHP and MySQL is the way to go =) This could be very cool project!

Yeah. I'm looking at things like discourse (RoR flat forum) for design patterns. — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone
