You'd have PHP (which you say you already know) and Apache, so move your web pages and PHP scripts over and get hacking. The PEAR library is alive and well under Linux too, so all the standard PHP add-ons, database interfaces, etc. are there to be used. > My server program has to process XML string and MySQL. > PHP can deal with XML and interface to MySQL, though why anybody would use it when using PostgreSQL has more standardised SQL and is as easy to install for the same price, is more than I can imagine. If you don't have O'Reilly's "Programming PHP" in your library, maybe you need a copy. If, for some reason, you can't do everything you need with Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL, most distros have Python, Perl and gawk awaiting your pleasure. Fedora has the Java OpenJDK 1.7 too. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
