Extensions..

[Paul]

I guess I have been sleeping but what is the
".cfm" extension I have been seeing on webpages today?

And (in general terms ANDREW!) why is it used?

[Del]

CFM is Cold Fusion, very similar in theory to ASP and PHP :-)

<edit>
Oh yeah, I believe it only works on NT, but I'm probably wrong about that too

"Works" is such a strong word!!

There's a Solaris version out. I haven't used it, but hobnobbed with some folks who did. According to them, Allaire took the NT version and ported it on top of the NT extensions for Solaris -- which would be like, I don't know, porting yourself to a Maserati, but replacing the engine with a Yugo's first. :p They promised to rewrite it completely in the next version, which I believe is version 4, which is out now and has been for a while.

But who needs it if you have PHP and embedded perl. http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Nothing special, maybe, but it was darned good motivation! http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif That, and I've been avoiding the call for papers I should be writing. http://www.aota.net/ubb/frown.gif G'night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
