I just started playing around with Phing build scripts (built with PHP). From what I have read is that Phing is based on Apache Ant (built with Java).
Both use XML build files and have similar syntax, so I am asking someone with experience, if I find an Ant build file on Github or elsewhere, can it be used in a Phing script without changing the syntax of it any? Like a drop-in XML file that would work with Ant or Phing? Or are there differences?
There are some slight differences. I would recommend taking the ant build file, and for each target, look up the target name in the phing documentation to make sure it’s the same or not. I can’t remember off the top of my head, but you can’t just drop it in. There are also some phing only things you can do that are php related, like a phpdoc target, etc.
