I wonder whether the target audience here is developers who want to build a new PHP application from scratch for GAE, or just people who want to install Wordpress? Using GAE adds a development/deployment step, but the lack of deployment fuss is the primary advantage PHP has over anything else.
I'm also slightly alarmed that the PHP examples use htmlspecialchars and nothing else. The Python documentation has a whole section on templating with an example autoescaping setup using Jinja2.
- TheHydroImpulse 13y agoPHP as just started to get a package community going (Composer) but it's incredibly slow. Using external packages in PHP isn't as easy as with other platforms.
- eevee 13y agoSurely Google could just preinstall something. The Python templating docs say GAE includes both Jinja2 and the Django template engine.
