Phalanger is an advanced open source PHP implementation introducing the PHP language into the family of compiled .NET languages. It provides PHP applications an execution environment that is fast and extremely compatible with the vast array of existing PHP code. Phalanger gives web-application developers the ability to benefit from both the ease-of-use and effectiveness of the PHP language and the power and richness of the .NET platform including Silverlight taking profit from the best from both sides. Phalanger allows you to take advantages from both platforms; PHP and .NET:

PHP advantages:

  • Easy to learn and use
  • Fast development
  • Reuse of existing PHP applications and components
  • Many PHP developers are available in IT job market

.NET advantages:

  • Fast optimized & compiled execution
  • Excellent framework with well-structured functionality
  • Standardized as ISO

  • Provides enterprise and certified functionality as web services, transactions, encryption, XML, management, workflow etc.
  • Other .NET framework extensions are provided by other products as Sharepoint, Biztalk, SQL Server 2005 etc.
  • Advanced development tools including Phalanger Tools for Visual Studio 2010

Sample scenarios of Phalanger usage:

  • You have spent some time on PHP development and you want to reuse your PHP code but enhance it with enterprise functionality as .NET provides.
  • You are proposing .NET solution to your client and want to offer to your client other freely available applications. PHP gives you a huge pool of open source applications you can choose from.
  • You require compiled code with enhanced performance, or closed source, to allow you to distribute PHP application without a need of revealing source codes.

Phalanger is an open source application, thus it is not necessary to pay any license fees, which makes its use more cost efficient than traditional proprietary systems. But as an open source application to be used in commercial projects needs some kind of commercial support, additional tools and extensions. This makes the development easier and it enhances the runtime with several additional features you may find important. The DEVSENSE offers you all kind of support for Phalanger for commercial companies. As people that are developing the Phalanger we can show you how to use Phalanger in your projects and all the benefits you can get from it, so you don’t have to allocate any technical resources needed to use it properly and efficiently. We are able to solve the issues you can have with Phalanger and implement your special requirements.
