I have some B4X code that needs to be ported to PHP.
Are there any options beside manually rewriting it (and learning PHP in the process)?

It's a basic web service, whose core is already written in B4X.
I was wondering if I could leverage the already existing code, while continuing to maintain it in its current language.
It looks like I'm going to learn a new language, since it won't be a one-shot job, rather than something that will be maintained over time.
Anyway, the reason behind it, is that the hosting company allows only php code, not java: a jserver project would have already solved the issue.

I was thinking about this also today because I really need it. @alwaysbusy once reflected that he might do BANano like PHP transpiler, not sure though.

BANano can convert/transpile b4x code to javascript, perhaps a javascript to php like this could help.

Free tool for online converting JavaScript code to PHP variable or using echo or print statements.

I guess one has to find out for themselves.

That’s the way I would choose, but this is a project with some constraints, and one of the is that code should be maintainable by other developers that have no B4X experience and/or willing to use it.

Sorry aeric... I agree with Sandman... hacking is not about the programming language but about the way we protect ourselves and think in general.

You can be secure with quickbasic too..

The right way... is always recreate something from scratch / if you change programming language... especially in those are close to web servers...

Automatic ways not the answer... also... Banano (is great) is something different, you are using b4x commands and logic to create web services... without need to know what actually is doing in the background...

I would like the opposite, a php to B4J converter.
