Directi hosts PHP Mirror

Directi is pleased to announce that it is
hosting the official Indian mirror of the PHP website for the
convenience of the huge PHP developer community in Asia.

Being the biggest Web Services company in Asia, it is only fitting
that the PHP developer community have access to a PHP mirror on
Directi’s world class web hosting infrastructure.

Directi is a strong supporter of the Open Source Community. A large
portion of its software is either Open Source, or derives from or
extends existing Open Source Software. Its work culture and
methodology largely derives from Software Engineering Principles of
Open Source Software.

“Without Open Source Software, there wouldn’t be an Internet.” says
Bhavin
Turakhia, Founder, CEO & Chairman of Directi. “Consider the fact that
DNS is almost totally dependent on BIND, over half the websites on the
Internet run the Apache server and the vast majority of email handling
and delivery on the Internet is accomplished by sendmail. Add to this
the various open-source TCP/IP stacks and utility suites, and
open-source scripting languages such as Perl and PHP that are behind
most “live” content on the Web, and you will understand what i mean.
We are a Web Services Company and so we would not exist if these Open
Source Softwares had not made the Internet possible. This is just our
way of giving something back to the Open source Community.”
