Hey Folks,

I'm rather new to Windows Azure, but the video introduction does make it seem rather simple and straight forward to get through, right from initial development and testing right through to first deployment. Thanks for the helpful resource.

Great video, simple, only in 3 steps.

Only I have a question. When or how to get the sdk and windows azure account to test with other applications?

Hi,

Searching the Web for PHP integration in Azure I've found that in previous versions, there was a template project for PHP in Visual Studio 2010. Do you know if this template or another one for PHP in Azure, will be available in the near future?

Thanks, in advance.

Hi,

I've just try the same command lines on my machine:

scaffolder run -out=./sample

And have the following errors:

2: Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Azure SDK for PHP 4.1.0\scaffolders\DefaultScaffolder.phar:224 - unpack(): Type V: not enough input, need 4, have 0 2: Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Azure SDK for PHP 4.1.0\scaffolders\DefaultScaffolder.phar:228 - unpack(): Type V: not enough input, need 4, have 0 2: Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Azure SDK for PHP 4.1.0\scaffolders\DefaultScaffolder.phar:228 - array_values(): The argument should be an array 8: Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Azure SDK for PHP 4.1.0\scaffolders\DefaultScaffolder.phar:232 - Undefined offset:  2 8: Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Azure SDK for PHP 4.1.0\scaffolders\DefaultScaffolder.phar:233 - Undefined offset:  5 8: Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Azure SDK for PHP 4.1.0\scaffolders\DefaultScaffolder.phar:234 - Undefined offset:  4

Do you know where they could come from (PHP version, spaces in the directory path, etc.)?

Thanks again,

Replying to myself: I was using 2 versions of PHP in my path env parameter. Every thing went right after removing the wrong one (PHP 4.XX) .

I don't have windows, I am a unix developer. Can I use windows Azure PHP instances to deploy and run my application or does azure only work with windows?

And what about Mac ?
How can I publish to Azure from my Mac?

and what about database connection. How it handle if a had a entire system accessing a MySql server?

Sorry, I lied. Actually I didn't find any video about PHP and Azure SQL, but I found this link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brian_swan/archive/2010/02/12/getting-started-with-php-and-sql-azure.aspx

i don't know how to program, but I have a great app idea; where do i start?
