[mapguide-users] JSP and PHP and fusion

[Zac Spitzer]

php is always used for the mapadmin

the sample docs are rather php / c# centric but the api
is the same across all plaforms

you can take any php sample and convert it to JSP
pretty easily

that said, if your comfortable with JSP, stick with JSP

personally i am using the JSP api via coldfusion
(which leaves php for dead, but that's another story!)
