Zend Server 2020 V7R4. also is still free ?

[coversystem]

Hi,

is zendserver 2020 compatible with V7R4? When you download it doesn't mention the V7R4 but only the V7R3.
Does it still seem to cease to be free?

What are CommunityPlus + PHP (seiden group) and ZendPHP?

[JonBoy]

My understanding is that there are currently 3 major "flavors" of PHP.

1) Zend Server - for fee - no longer supplied by IBM

2) IBM supplied PHP (I _think_ this is actually supplied by Zend) - it is a version of the free community edition

3) Seiden Group PHP Community + - this is the version I am using.

Zend Server is the all singing all dancing version with all the bells and whistles - it should work find on 7.4

The biggest problem with the iBM supplied version (and why the Seiden version exists) is that it is bare bones and does not include a lot of features that typic IBM i users take advantage of. Seiden also has a nice install process.

+1 for Seiden ... update to date, easy to install (yum) and update, well maintained (comes also with a php module, made by Seiden, specific to call some ibmi routines).
