Faster PHP on Win2k3
-
I'm sure this has been discussed but if so I missed it...just curious if there are any PHP developers that can tell me how slow their stuff ran on Win2k3 & PHP 4/5 as compared to a Linux server? Microsoft is partnering with Zend to increase the PHP execution in IIS 7 by 25 times apparently, I have a ton of apps I manage on Windows/PHP that run Opensource phpBB2 & OSCommerce. If it's true then I am very interested to see the performance benefit, because they don't really seem slow right now...are they making PHP out to be a great deal faster than .Net apps on the same server? Hmmm...
if (!interested){return false;} amclint

Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

PHP can run faster on Windows if it is compiled to .NET :-). Take a look at the Phalanger[^] project. The PhpBB for example works very well. I'm (probably) not objective, because I recently became project administrator for Phalanger (after original authors were hired by Microsoft) and I don't have any statistics that compare Phalanger&IIS with PHP&IIS 7 (you can find some older stats at http://php-compiler.net[^]), but we will try it :-). Anyway Running PHP on .NET has many other interesting advantages - I'm going to write some articles about it soon.
