Thanks. Let's stick with the examples. There is a lot of FUD about COM and VFP out there that is hard (as you can see ) to get rid of.
VFP has a way forward IMO and that way is to emulate PHP but:
1.) perform better because: it has an ISAPI module (much better than fastCGI)
2.) can take advantage of multi-core processors
3.) has true multi-threading
4.) has a built-in integrated database and its own unique features

btw, wwc is COM too - the slow, non multi-threaded EXE kind unless the dog slow and unscalable File Mode is used..

this is nice.

$ntimes = 4;
$descrp = "I have use this function {$ntimes} this week";
$descrp = 'I have use this function '.$ntimes. 'this week';


I have mainly used WW so I don't know much about ActiveVFP but ActiveVFP is COM and COM has a lot of overhead in it self. The big difference is PHP has a way forward VFP does not.

I just remembered. Thanks to the Facebook people, PHP can now be compiled and run as compiled code instead of an interpreter.
