IBM is putting its corporate heft behind a popular open-source Web development technology called PHP, in a move meant to reach out to a broader set of developers.
On Friday, the tech giant is expected to announce a partnership with Zend Technologies to create a bundle called ZendCore, which includes IBM’s Cloudscape-embedded database and Zend’s PHP development tools. Zend sells tools built on the open-source edition of PHP and offers related services.
IBM also plans to establish an area dedicated to PHP on its developer Web site, which will include technical resources such as white papers.
