complaining about lack of php/mysql/nubwebdev support

If you knew how to write javascript outside of getdocumentbyx set property, or implement the MVC pattern, this solution would be fine for you. Every webserver and dev technology on earth is free for personal use (and most for business use, this includes oracle, websphere, eclipse, most every flavour of java, even asp.net and visual studio).

I realize php devs don't think outside the box or do any research on other technologies, but really? Complaining about a free in browser server? Come on now.

when will asp.net gonna be supported??

By dkillewo, # Nov 24, 2009 12:56:08 AM

so we will see php/MySQL in future?

To Anyone who wants PHP so they can do web development work (such as disttel):

Get this instead: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

It's called XAMPP, it'll set up a web server on your own computer so you can write and test PHP pages (and MySQL) without uploading them anywhere. It's generally designed for testing web applications on your PC without using external servers.

First let me say Great job with the Opera Project its Excellent!
Its a great platform for USERS to enjoy the OVERLY complex world of Convergence Technologies!
Thinking holistically and from a modular stand point it would quite easy for this project to be able to satisfy all by keeping it simple for everyday users yet modular for the technical community! It's very important that it gets KISS-ed so as not to run off the intended User community!
Us NERDS and GEEKS must learn that things don't always have to STAY complicated. Technology's ULTIMATE PURPOSE is to facilitate ease of use for the end user.
I'm quite sure some of us have already concepted the use of a Whitebox Server to run this application from and thats great for us!

However everyday users don't need all of this! Instead of complaining about what it does not have! Think about what U could do to help it become holistic and modular. NERDS i challenge us to help out by writing some code. Basically get in where you fit in. Geeks expand your knowledge base a little the Concept here is about OpenSource community support. So help by expanding OPERA'S APPLICATION REPOSITORIES as opposed to just complaining. The most valuable person on a TEAM is the ANSWER MAN!

Again fantastic thinking outside of the box OPERA TEAM!

Hi all

Does the Unite support PHP?

By suxumi, # Oct 13, 2009 5:46:23 PM

the new version has a limited password protected fix, but it does not look right, it says "{{plugins.acl.aclTypes[].value.meta.label}}" in a font that stands out of the page and looks wierd

By frogstomp, # Oct 8, 2009 7:10:56 AM

To please all sides, I think it would be good, if we had options as to install or not to install PHP, Python, or other things on our web-server.

By XonX, # Sep 10, 2009 5:08:49 PM

I would like to have links to .pdf files, but they don't seem to upload - the status bar says 'stopped." Is this a bug or a feature, and either way, is there a workaround?

By Daoist58, # Sep 7, 2009 3:13:26 PM

"USELESS WITHOUT PHP"!?
I'm working on a website project in my university and i find this feature really good. Other Students in my team can just upgrade source codes in my PC ( through Opera), i put them in the server file; and so, every week show the progress of the work done in meetings with the prof...
This feature is GREAT!

PHP in Opera Unite Web Server is overkill and not needed. If you need PHP, or wish users to post content, then take the proper route and install a proper web server like Apache, Lighttp or similar with a database back-end and sign up for a free dynamic DNS mapping service to keep your content accessible when your ISP switches your IP address. Opera Unite Web Server is more about *delivering* content in a lean and easy way. So learn some XML, XSLT, CSS, etc. (www.w3schools.com) and you will have all the formating control you need with a nice separation between content and context. If you want dynamic content in the browser for your users, use Ecmascript (formally known as Javascript). That is, instead of complaining about what Opera does *not* provide, put in some effort to learn a few more skills so *you* can provide proper content to your Opera Unit visitors.

can i get a walk-though

By go123web, # Aug 23, 2009 9:13:14 PM

Maybe this web server is for just plain folks !!! hmmmm

By jimc47, # Aug 20, 2009 4:20:05 PM

Good idea but useless without php / sql =(

By kill0u, # Aug 19, 2009 8:53:59 AM

I would love a web server via Opera, but it's worthless to me
without PHP.

Others may argue for other scripts, but all my hosting so far is PHP
based.
Hope to see PHP here one day, then I will come back
All the best!

On the local file security side, Unite does a rather good job of concealing things. If you look at the raw lists put out by the server, your service folders are not directly exposed. This has been a problem with many other servers and sites, where all of their content is in a publicly visible folder, and could be downloaded without looking at the actual site.

So Unite's web server puts you in better hands than the hosts of all those poor japanese illustrators whose websites are turned into .zip files available over bittorrent.
