Open Source PHP Compilers for Linux

PAS2PHP will translate a large subset of Object Pascal to PHP, allowing you to write web applications using Lazarus/FreePascal, and then run the application on a standard HTML/PHP server. Over the last week, a lot of work has gone into PAS2PHP. Most of the major issues are resolved. There are still a number of incompatibilities which are either not fixable, or have simple workarounds. As of v0.5, you should be able to write entire PHP applications in Pascal. The key to coding for PAS2PHP is to understand the limitations of PHP. Read the example code provided, and always check the outputed PHP code to understand how this works. As a guide to what PAS2PHP can achieve... my web site is written in Pascal, and then converted to PHP. (The code is in the source package). PAS2PHP uses the Pascal Parse Tree Classes (PasTree) which comes with FreePascal, and therefore the parsing limits are defined by this library.
