View Popular Sites & Code PHP in Perl
A couple of interesting links I came across on O’Relliy Radar:
1. stamen: vox deliciivia shows you the most popular sites on del.icio.us by day in a nice flash app.
2. Bricolage has added a PHP interpreter wihtin perl so you can add PHP code in perl scripts/programs.
…Bricolage now supports PHP 5 templating in addition to the existing Perl-based templating architectures (Mason, Template Toolkit, and HTML::Template). So how did we add PHP 5 templating to a mod_perl application? Easy: we hired George Schlossnagle of Omni TI to write PHP::Interpreger, an embedded PHP 5 interpreter. Now anyone can natively execute PHP 5 code from a Perl application. Not only that, but the PHP 5 code can reach back into the Perl interpreter to use Perl modules and objects! Here’s an example that I like to show off to the PHP crowd:
I met George at a meeting at Ticketmaster regarding the Omniti products…pretty cool work, George!
