To be honest, if your client demands a PHP version, you're going to have
to either learn PHP yourself, or form a maintenance relationship with
someone who can help you in the long term, otherwise you're going to
have problems down the road.
Never promise more than you can deliver. Sometimes the best answer is
"no, can't do that".
a simple comment form a simple man.
if you cannot help on the subject please do not post.
If this is, as you say, something that will never be changed in any way,
then I agree, my post probably didn't help.
But having the experience of maintaining such a never-changing simple
application, I do know that things change, regardless of what you think
now or the client says. A client that says "We will never require a
change to this application" is, in my experience, wrong.
At some point your client will change hosting firm or platform, and need
just this small tweak to get it running again because of a new SMTP
server or similar, that require slightly different authentication
semantics or whatnot. Perhaps a new version of PHP is in use, which
doesn't support the specific version of the library your code is made
against.
If you, at that point, still doesn't have the necessary PHP knowledge,
doing that will entail you going back online to find someone that can
fix your own application.
Personally I would never have that kind of dependency on some unknown
3rd party that may or may not be able to help you in the future.
My tip was to get the required knowledge, find someone you can form a
relationship will that does, or give it up.
It might be contrary to what you want, but I still think my hint was
helpful, in the general sense, and I'm not just answering you, I'm also
answering that unknown someone that finds yours and mine post in the
future wondering about the same issue.
this is just a little web page that will never be changed in
any way, just needs a php version also...
it is a part of a big winForm program that generates a lot
of stuff.
I wanted to ask somebody to give me a hand, I will debug on
eclipse/apache and make it work afterwards..
I don't like php to be honest, but I clearly asked for translation, not for
comment.
Well, I'm sorry to say this, but what I think is helpful might not
coincide with your opinion. That will not stop me from posting though.
