PHP Case Study on IBM i:  Moving to the Web with PHP

This month we welcome back PHP expert Alan Seiden.  Alan will present a case study of how he took a green-screen order entry application and created a new PHP web interface that runs 100% on the IBM i.  He will include details of how he re-used most of the back-end RPG logic while adding new functionality that users love.  Alan will also demonstrate Zend Server, the new and improved version of PHP on the i.  Zend Server makes it even easier than ever to get started with PHP.  Best of all, the basic version is free!  Anyone who wants to learn about developing PHP-based web applications on the ‘i’ will benefit from this talk.  Alan will show you how to get started and then how to build your skills.  Alan will allocate time to answer your questions about PHP, so bring your questions and ask away!  PHP is always a popular topic and Alan’s presentation last year was very well attended, so be sure to register now.

Alan Seiden helps companies implement PHP-based solutions on IBM i. His Specialties include Zend Framework and performance tuning. He is a senior developer and consultant at Strategic Business Systems, Inc., a partner of IBM and Zend.

Alan has been using PHP on the i since 2005 (even before Zend Core). Being an early adopter and advocate of PHP-based web applications on IBM i, he was a charter member of IBM/COMMON’s PHP Advisory Board and served as a consultant for the IBM manual PHP: Zend Core for i5/OS.

In 2009, Alan was honored with the IBM/COMMON Power Systems Innovation Award for “Best Web Application,” for Allied Beverage Group’s e-commerce site, developed with the team at Strategic Business Systems, using PHP and Zend Framework on IBM i.

He has spoken at Northeast System i User Groups, NewYork PHP,  Chicago OMNI, and ZendCon, delivering what one participant called "an upbeat message about what we can accomplish."

Message from the President

I hope all who attended came away with a sense of urgency and an understanding of what is needed to be compliant with the new Massachusetts Data Breach Regulations.  Thank you, Lynda Slevoski, for delivering a fine presentation of a critical issue.

 For our next meeting, February 17, 2010, we are bringing back Alan Seiden, a specialist in PHP WEB applications on the ‘I’ Series, and a Zend Framework Certified Engineer.  Alan will present a case study contrasting a traditional ‘I’ Series application with a PHP application.  He will also update us on Zend Server, the latest version of PHP for the ’I’, from Zend Technologies. Zend Server is offered free, to all ‘I’ Series users, by Zend Technologies and IBM; and, Alan will show us how to obtain and implement this.  PHP was conceived in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf, who authored the original Common Gateway Interface and developed the first two versions of the PHP core processor. Zend Technologies was founded by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski, who in 1999, re-wrote the core processor and developed the Zend Engine.

 Join us once again to see how PHP has evolved since then, and how this technology may be applicable to your current needs and applications.

 May The Force be with us.
