+1  Q: 

PHP for .NET

I know there are implementations of Python and of Perl for .NET. Have you ever heard of any similar plans for PHP?

+4  A: 

I recall there's something called Phalanger which runs PHP on .NET

Note it isn't in active development anymore. Maybe it will be.

A: 

no, there's not and I don't think there will be as it doesn't really make much sense. Python makes more sense as it's a dynamic language and there's no current equivalent in .net. I believe you can use Phalanger which compiles PHP to CIL but it's not a first class .net language.

It is an implementation of the PHP language for the CLI. Why should it be a first class language?
Dykam
So, why Perl eventually makes sense?
