Zend Technologies 是php的官方赞助商,虽然PHP是一个开源项目,但是开发工具、培训、认证等都是由Zend来打理,因为PHP的核心Zend API是由Zend公司提供,所以可以说Zend公司就是PHP支持商。今年年初的时候,包括IBM、Oracle等国际大厂商都提出对PHP进行支持,进一步刺激了PHP的发展,如何在Perl、Ruby、Python等脚本语言中超越其他语言,这就成为了Zend公司一项重要任务。

PHP的创始人Rasmus Lerdorf在去年10月份来到北京给雅虎做培训,那时候我就猜测可能PHP想在中国有所作为。今年年初的时候就听闻Zend公司想在拓展中国市场,因为在中国,PHP语言也是与jsp、asp等Web开发语言齐名的,只是一直没有特别强大的支持团体,只有phpe.net、phpx.com等民间团体。但是近半年来,phpe.net基本没有更新过,php&more杂志也是出的有一期没一期的,phpx.com我怎么看都是只限于很多PHP入门者在论坛的提问,如果长此以往,PHP开发者将失去动力,PHP在国内也将失去市场,特别是最近Ruby On Rails这样强大组合的攻击,Perl、PHP之类的未来很可能会失去市场。

但是,所以世界不是那么简单的,因为Zend已经正式准备进军中国市场了,首先他们在今年九月一号还是推出了一个中文开源站点:PHP China (www.phpchina.com)。网站首页是这么介绍的:
Phpchina是一个公益性、非盈利性的技术交流网站,一个针对php爱好者、使用者发布消息、交流技术的免费平台,一个由PHP中国联盟会、美国专业PHP Zend公司、PHP中国推广Skinova公司、以及中国各大门户网站、PHP专业网站全力支持的PHP中国官方网站。

在国内他们首先找到合作的就是Discuz,采用了他们的论坛4.0RC1,Discuz应该算了国内走的比较早,并且维持的比较久的论坛了,很多以前很有名的论坛都已经消声匿迹了,现在崛起的是Discuz、phpWind等论坛,论技术实力和用户群体,Discuz是数一数二的,Discuz采用开源产品和商业产品并且的策略,既吸引个人站长,也吸引商业用户,所以PHP China选择了这马个成熟产品。

为了吸引用户加入到PHP China的论坛中,他们采用了很多吸引手段,比如:
为了促进网站建设,鼓励会员的积极参,为中国PHP发展作贡献,经PHP联盟会讨论决定,由Zend和Skinova公司赞助礼品,展开先进会员予以奖励活动。

当然,这些都只是本地化的第一步,其实最核心的是Zend准备在国内提供认证、培训、开发工具提供等一系列服务才是关键,这些都只是辅助作用。

目前国内使用PHP最多的应该就是那些大门户,包括新浪、雅虎、Tom等等,每个公司都有自己很成熟的一套开发框架,结合Smarty、PEAR、ADOdb这些扩展类库,基本能够满足企业架构的需要。但是,在企业应用领域PHP比起Ruby On Rails这样的快速开发模式来说,它还是做的不够。

* 面向对象的机制不健全,现在很多公司还在使PHP4,虽然在PHP 5里已经基本吧java的那些面向对象学习过来了,但是在国内使用并不是那么广泛,这需要一个过程。

* 开发框架不充分,没有强有力的开发框架,如果你尝试过Ruby On Rails,那么你会知道Rails给开发者带来了什么,天然的MVC模式,开发者只要写很少的Ruby代码就能够完成很强大的功能。虽然PHP有基于MVC模式的php.MVC和基于事件驱动的PRodo之类的开发框架,但是比起ROR(Ruby On Rails)来说,还是开发效率要低很多。

* 缺乏强大的通用数据库接口,虽然在PHP 5.1里内置了PDO(PHP Data Object),但是在Rails里已经有ActiveRecord这样的层,完全不需要程序员去太多考虑数据库交互的问题,而是把更多精力放在业务处理上。

* 缺乏强大的商业支持,虽然比起Ruby来说,PHP还算稍微有点商业支持,但是跟asp.net、JSP来比是差很远,这个需要Zend在中国更加公司努力


不管PHP有多少不足,它仍然是很多PHP开发人员心目中的最爱,因为它简洁、快速、容易入门、语法简单。比起Ruby来说,PHP的语法还是很接近C/Java等语言的,更容易学习一点。


希望PHP China再国内做的更好,希望Zend公司在中国一路走好!

How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types?How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types?Apr 17, 2025 am 12:25 AM

PHP type prompts to improve code quality and readability. 1) Scalar type tips: Since PHP7.0, basic data types are allowed to be specified in function parameters, such as int, float, etc. 2) Return type prompt: Ensure the consistency of the function return value type. 3) Union type prompt: Since PHP8.0, multiple types are allowed to be specified in function parameters or return values. 4) Nullable type prompt: Allows to include null values ​​and handle functions that may return null values.
