Hello, The Emilda Project (http://www.emilda.org) has released a sub-package, named PHP-MARC, for MARC handling natively in PHP. It can be found in the files list on the Emilda Project page on SF.net (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=95845&package_id=142720) This package is very similar to the Perl package MARC::Record, and most MARC parsing rules have been looked up in MARC::Record. The reason for releasing PHP-MARC as a separate package, even though it is part of the Emilda Project, is to allow non-Emilda users to benefit from this package, and pssibly even assist in development. Thus I would thoroughly appreciate comments from anyone regarding the performance or functionality of this package. I personally do not have all the time needed to test all possible scenarios that this package might be used in, and there some help would be needed. When benchmarking PHP-MARC, it appeared to be almost identical in performance compared to MARC::Record, and should also serve the same set of functions (excluding the Lint part). Hopefully someone else will also benefit from native MARC management within PHP.
