coding
-
An expanded and faster Visual Component Library (VCL) for PHP with
support for popular PHP packages and libraries including Zend Framework
-
Productivity and performance enhancements throughout including new
error insight, source code formatting, expanded code insights and code
folding
-
Powerful new PHP debugging features and new integrated PHP performance
profiling and tuning for achieving maximum applications performance
“CodeGear revolutionized web development with
the release of Delphi for PHP. It gave us countless innovations
including speed, increased productivity and ease of maintenance," said
Ricardo Mendes, CEO of RBM Web, based in Brazil. "Because we develop
high-performance financial applications, we must be able to implement
new routines very quickly. This capability, along with the new HTML
template system, easy access to the Oracle database, integrated help
functionality and language translation in Delphi for PHP 2.0 are all
very important to our business.”
Said Michael Swindell, CodeGear Vice President of Products, “With
the initial introduction of Delphi for PHP, we brought together PHP and
rapid application development for the first time. With version 2.0, we
are raising the bar in every area with faster performance across the
board and a wide array of new productivity, debugging, and performance
tuning features and much broader ‘out-of-the-box’
support for databases and popular PHP packages and libraries. But
perhaps the most significant advance is the new HTML template system
which enables PHP developers to seamlessly build rich PHP applications
against HTML templates for design flexibility and easy customization
with popular HTML tools.”
Powerful Database Development Capabilities and Ease of Use Benefit
PHP Developers
Any developer can take advantage of Delphi for PHP 2.0 to build PHP
applications visually in just minutes. Database developers, for example,
who want to create intranet and Web applications can natively connect
them to their database and use drag-and-drop components to connect,
display and edit data. For Microsoft Visual Studio®
ASP.NET™ developers as well as CodeGear
Delphi and C++Builder® developers, the
product offers a familiar visual and component-based approach to Web 2.0
PHP development that reduces the learning curve and increases overall
development productivity and reuse. For experienced PHP developers,
Delphi for PHP 2.0 offers an easy way to componentize any PHP code to
make it easier to use and reuse as well as expanded capabilities,
flexibility, and visual development only previously available in popular
tools for Windows and .NET.
“Zend Framework has evolved very quickly to
become the leading application framework for PHP. We are excited to see
CodeGear add support for Zend Framework to its Delphi for PHP 2.0
product,” said Mark de Visser, Chief
Marketing Officer for Zend Technologies. “The
Delphi ecosystem is known for its scale and its skilled developers. PHP
and Zend Framework will benefit greatly from the innovation this will
bring to our communities.”
