Anyone heard of using php as programming language for PICs ?
With totally no experience in PHP, I had to modify a php program. After browsing the web, I found what I needed and managed to modify the program,
But during browsing the web, the above (maybe ridiculuous) question came into my mind, why ? What I understand from PHP:
- it's open source
- it's used by everyone, including children and "housewifes"
- it's despiced by theoretical software guys, because it hasn't a closed definition (or is it because of the previous item ;-)
- it must be good, because it runs on every webserver (both unix and windows)
- despite it's open source, there's still just one definition/derivate
- installling and get it running on my PC, took me less then 2 minutes
- the user can choose between C-like, Pascal-like (maybe others) syntax
Ok, the negative point is that it's designed for generating webpages. But I also use a hammer to drive a srew ! So why not use PHP for PICs, ... ??
