Sorry Eturino. Your lack of knowledge and Coldfusion skills means you suck, not Coldfusion. BTW, I've used CodeIgniter more than Cake, but if you really want something closest to Ruby on Rails you need Coldfusion I'm afraid. CFWheels is the best thing since sliced bread. I can create in Coldfusion on Wheels in a fraction of the time of PHP. Coldfusion has a blazingly fast execution time. We use Coldfusion on big boy sites like Health Insurance companies and high traffic sites that need scalability and stability. We use PHP primarily for clients with no money and no traffic.

I think it's safe to say PHP developers didn't "dump" PHP for ColdFusion. Instead, we saw the birth of PHP frameworks, like CakePHP and Code Igniter. These tools brought the simplicity and structure of Ruby on Rails to a language that we all know well.After all, it wasn't that people were looking for a replacement technology. It's just that frameworks revolutionized (or, saved) PHP by changing the way people write web apps. Well, two years have passed since this article was originally written.

I setup vertical cluster (followed by horizontal clustering) with CF. It handled huge loads really well (but the DB was another story). Can PhP do that? Can PhP allow you to cluster vertically while you wait for money and expertise in the horizontal clustering? I was part of the politico.com team when it was just two developers.

Because they are so set in the idea that actually paying for something (CF) is against some developer secret creedo. They will find any reason to support why open source is superior to a commercial product. I work with one of these types. Everytime he argues we should dump ColdFusion and go to PHP I direct the CFO and CEO to Facebook, the slowest, clunky social networking site on the web. Sure its pretty compared to mySpace, but I can't be convinced that Facebook's latency is entirely due to bandwidth. (Perhaps mySpace is precompiled cfm?)But here is the biggie. In Ray Camden's own site, Sean Corfield offers a script library where developers can run PHP code within ColdFusion pages. http://scripting.riaforge.org/Thats my 2 cents worth.

I've read somewhere that if you are a CF developer, you'd better learn another language. I've got to this discussion trying to understand why. I work with CF and so far the types of projects I've been involved with I haven't felt I needed another one. I work with intranets for small (50 to 100 users is small?) organizations. I've tried to learn PHP many times, some of my clients had a PHP hosting when they contacted me. So far, none of them had any problem switching to CF hosting. Until now :). Raymond, is there any recommendation you could give me, being you and I CF developers (you with much more experience than I) to learn PHP in order to use it as an extra tool? The one thing it really bothers me about PHP in the integration with HTML (compared to CF). Is there any good book, something like "PHP for ColdFusion developers"? Thank you guys!dani at thiez dot com. Raymond and Eturino, thanks so much for this discussion.

The mysql connection string is ALWAYS put in a config file, and does not need to be done to make the query. This is like suggesting you need to reconfigure the DSN for each query. $result = mysql_query(”select * from counter”); This is a more accurate code sample. And it's no more complex than the CF version. Just as a correction, the document above incorrectly lists code that is not required at all to make a query.
