<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caTKQr57B8o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caTKQr57B8o</a> PHP at 75+% of all
websites (WordPress and other content management systems).</p>
<p>So, how do we get X3D working with PHP? It looks like PHP
dominates the web. I see Wordpress plugins that include VRML, X3D
and glTF to name a few formats.</p>
<p>So, what if we created a PHP SAI? Can we do server-side PHP SAI
that modifies the web client rendering? Can we provide 3D
libraries to make 3D programming in PHP easier?<br>
</p>
<p>Can we collect some X3D resources from using PHP and X3D
together? Indeed, we have 0 references to PHP on the X3d
resources page, see image attached. I can start collecting items
of interest, if it's agreed that they will be added to the
website. </p>
<p>Is the problem that PHP is not "researchy" enough, and it's too
tied to commerce? Hasn't the web itself been tied to commerce for
a long time now? Is it time for a new web based on 3D? We tried
it in 1997, Open Croquet/Cobalt tried it, croquet.io seems to be
back at it. What stands in our way of a 3D web? I sure would
enjoy a script-less 3D email (I could mail my "3D art" as
non-fungible tokens to my relatives). Didn't the whole web kind of
start as a multimedia e-mail app on the NeXT boxes? Should 3D go
back history to capture the future? Where are the embedded 3D
attachments in MIME? Does any email client handle 3D
attachments? Thanks! John I'm perfectly willing to start diving
into Thunderbird as a team member, not as a leader.<br>
