Coming Soon: nWire for PHP

It is time to unveil the details of our next release. Since its' initial released, nWire was targeted at multiple languages. We are very happy to announce that the next language to be supported by nWire will be... drumroll... PHP.

We partnered with Zend Technologies, the leaders of the PHP language, and customized nWire to fit their latest Zend Studio 7.0 and Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) 2.1. You can read more about the new tool on this page.

Since this is a major step for nWire, we will conduct a short beta stage. We are currently in private beta and the public beta will follow shortly after. We invite you to sign-up and be notified when the beta is publicly available.

Working with PHP is a true challenge for nWire since the language is dynamic and loosely typed. The PHP environment performs only a syntactic check, unlike the Java compiler that alerts on a wide range of issues. We worked hard to ensure that as much information as possible is gathered in the analysis process. Naturally, structured code will result in a more meaningful representation.

Once released, the new product will be named nWire for PHP, while the current nWire will be renamed as nWire for Java. It is possible to install both products on the same IDE and we will offer a discounted price for a joint license.
