CodeGear Launches Delphi for PHP for RAD Web Development

CodeGear announces Delphi for PHP, a component-based rapid application development IDE, and VCL for PHP, an open source visual component library. Delphi for PHP brings RAD productivity benefits to PHP Web developers that Delphi users have enjoyed for years. PHP is the most prominent dynamic Web language today and one of the top 10 programming languages overall. Delphi for PHP is designed to take PHP development to the next-level by making it faster and easier to develop rich, database-driven Web applications.

Important features of Delphi for PHP include:
- RAD environment for PHP;
- VCL for PHP – Open source PHP 5 visual component library with more than 50 extendable and reusable components with seamless AJAX integration;
- Out-of-the-box database integration with InterBase, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and other popular databases;
- Integrated PHP debugger;
- Deployment of PHP applications on Windows, Linux, Solaris and other platforms;
- Internationalization support for applications;
- Drag and drop database application development using the Data Explorer for InterBase and MySQL;
- Code editor with Code Insight, Code Explorer, and Code Templates, making it easier and faster to write PHP code.

VCL for PHP is based on the most popular open source PHP scripts and libraries, including Qooxdoo, Adodb, DynAPI, Smarty, XAjax and JSCalendar. Inspired by VCL for Delphi, the component architecture is 100 percent written in PHP. Developers can create and integrate components into the IDE and extend the existing components to fit their needs.
