If you're looking for a php equivlent of the ASP.NET framework, then the php interpreter has a lot of the ASP.NET framework functionality built in. For the remainder, of the ASP.NET framework functionality, in PHP you should take it on a case by case basis. For example if you need database abstraction(a similar set of functions for accessing different types of database) you can use PEAR::DB or ADODB. Most of what you need however is built into the php interpretor. The php documentation is Excellent. I used it to learn php from scratch, and I've yet to come across better, or easier to understand docs. > I have found most of the suggestions/comments to be useful, some a little to > personal and insulting than was warranted. I don't think any post on the list was meant to be personal, or insulting, and it would be a pity if you took it in that way. Perhaps you received some private replys, that we didn't see, but I think perhaps the post that could be most easly interpreted as a personal insult would have been my own, where I pointed out the Guide for new members, and ESR's smart questions guide. The new members guide is, as far as I know, sent to the list regularly(albeit not frequently), and ESR's guide is usually sent to anyone who posts to the list saying they're new, or asks for advice on how best to use the list. I assure you that none of my points were intended to insult, and apologise if you took them out of their intended scope. > Anyway thank you for your time and suggestions, I will try to make my > questions more focused and clear in the future. > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
