Hi all, together with my team, we would like to bring our semantic collaboration platform OntoWiki [1] together with Virtuoso. Many first-time OntoWiki users (and also some developers such as me) use Windows to test-drive (or develop) OntoWiki. Hence, it is a fundamental requirement for us that everything runs smoothly also on Windows. Yesterday, I was trying quite long (and unfortunately unsuccessfully) to get Virtuoso somehow talking to PHP on my Windows machine. I installed the commercial Virtuoso distro. As I understood there are two ways how PHP and Virtuoso can cooperate: (1) run PHP scripts inside Virtuoso, or (2) connect to Virtuoso from PHP by ODBC. Is there anybody, who can explain me how I get one or the other working on Windows? Looks my Virtuoso installation does not directly support PHP - is there a Windows binary to download which does? Which configuration is needed to get it running properly? In case I use the second way: which PHP module shall I use - odbc or pdo_odbc? Which configuration parameters of the module have to be set to talk to a local virtuoso instance?
BTW: I think a Virtuoso PHP module would increase the visibility and popularity of Virtuoso significantly for Web developers ;-) Best Sören [1] http://ontowiki.net
