PeachPie has been in development for a few years already. It is an ambitious project, so we set a few milestones before we felt comfortable releasing the official version 1.0.0.
... continue readingTesting is an essential part of software development. On .NET, we are used to the certain comfort and simplicity of managing our tests, running them, debugging them, collecting reports, profiling, and keeping track of the code coverage, within a single click. Does this work with PHP on .NET as well?
... continue readingYou may have come across the fact that we managed to run WordPress on .NET. In this article, we take a look at what’s under the hood and we’ll examine some of the obstacles and the technical solution behind this project.
... continue readingWith over 400 changes, it was time for the next major release of the PeachPie platform. During the past months, we have focused on improving the compatibility with several standard PHP applications and frameworks, and on the integration with toolings such as Visual Studio.
... continue readingPHP is an incredibly rich ecosystem, but with the growing popularity of .NET Core, you may want to combine these two worlds. Let’s take a look at how we migrate a PHP project to .NET with the help of VS Code and PeachPie.
... continue readingPHP programs usually need a runtime installed on your target machine, appropriate version of PHP itself, a web server and some sort of configuration. This is no longer needed when you are compiling PHP code into .NET. The PHP web or console program can be distributed as a self-contained executable with no such dependencies.
... continue readingIn preparation for the stable release of PeachPie 1.0, we are cleaning up the code and conducting some final fixes and enhancements.
... continue readingWe just released PeachPie 0.9.18, which targets some syntax extensions, so that PeachPie can provide more and much needed CLR interoperability features. Extending the syntax does not affect any existing PHP code and only provides developers with more options.
... continue readingOne of the key advantages of PeachPie over its predecessor, Phalanger, is that we can also target .NET Core in addition to the full .NET Framework. This allows PeachPie-compiled PHP apps to run on all platforms .NET Core supports, which makes for some pretty funky possibilities.
... continue readingWe have talked a lot about calling PHP from within C# thanks to Peachpie, but the beauty of this compiler is that the interoperability feature works both ways. In this article, we will take a look at some of the ways you can use C# in PHP.
