PHP in 2009 – A year in retrospective…

2009 just ended, and since we’ve only just commenced work in 2010, there’s still time to look back at 2009 and see what events have shaped the way we work with PHP and what happened in the general PHP ecosystem. PHPdeveloper.org has a nice overview f…

@Manuel,

Not sure which real worl you live in but I’ve not used Apache 1.3 in some time. Best practices dictate that you keep your servers current and patched. I don’t know anyone who is still recommending that you run APache 1.3.

Oh and in real world applications, epsecailly on large sites that have a lot of traffic, optimizers are an absolute must. 20%-30% compared to a 2x-4x perfomance gain is nnot really a comparison.

It is “ZendServer-5.0.0Beta2-PHP5.3.0-Windows_x86″ without a commercial license key (so, CE). All components, except for the “Zend Optimizer+”, were disabled for the numbers posted in this article.

I wish Zend would have given a different name to their accelerator in their server stack. Zend Optimizer+ and Zend Optimizer are two different things and I am sure has confused a lot of readers passing by here.

What was the Zend Server setup during the tests? Was this Zend Server CE or the commercial Zend Server? And what features of Zend Server were turned on / off during the tests?

Shahar.

Manuel: I’m not sure if by saying ‘real world’ you are suggesting that nobody is using a modular approach, but this is a wrong assumption. For sites that need it, compiling is fine, but generally the maintenance overhead of moving to statically compiled apache is not worth the added performance. I have a hard time believing that is 20-30%, I’d say it’s more likely to be less than 10% but if you have a benchmark to prove me wrong, I’d be interested to see it.
