Phalanger - the PHP Language Compiler for .NET Framework
A friend of mine sent me this link today and I thought it sounded very interesting. I was suprised to see that nobody had put this on Digg.com yet.
Basically, from what I can tell, Phalanger will allow you to use and create PHP code in Visual Studio (currently only .NET 1.1), but will then compile it into a DLL which makes execution time faster. The benchmarks on the site speak for themselves.
From the feature list:
- Extends the .NET language family with PHP version 5
- Enables creation of ASP.NET applications made of existing PHP scripts
- Compiles PHP scripts to achieve a significant speed-up of application execution
- Provides .NET application developers with all the PHP libraries
- Integrates the PHP language into Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
