ColdFusion and php

[xianaier]

Hey -

anyone here have any experience with converting ColdFusion sites to PHP?

I have 10 years experience with ColdFusion but my dev team handles all the php stuff. However, I'd love to get in touch with someone who has moved their sites from CF to php. Some tips about methodology and maybe how to plan such a move would be great.

Our ColdFusion site is hosted on ISS on a Windows 2003 server and uses MySQL - the php site will run on Apache on a Linux server and also talk to MySQL.

Coldfusion coding is pretty easier than PHP. It uses only #filename# for tags. Less coding such as no braces, no ;, no echo, etc... You may want to use PHP because of platform, server, and cost issues of resale of web projects. So if you find any conversion program let us know as well.

I think you will have to search an alternative way to take the <cfoutput></cfoutput> tags and covert them to the necessary script in PHP and do a copy paste.

I would like to have PHP use a same output function. Something like <%phpoutput%>FieldName</phpoutput> any suggestions?
