On PHP and Scaling

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the web-pages-served-fresh-all-day dept.

jpkunst writes "Chris Shiflett at oreillynet.com summarizes (with lots of links) a discussion about scalability, brought about by Friendster's move from Java to PHP. Chris argues that PHP scales well, because it fits into the Web's fundamental architecture. 'I think PHP scales well because Apache scales well because the Web scales well. PHP doesn't try to reinvent the wheel; it simply tries to fit into the existing paradigm, and this is the beauty of it.' (The article is also available on Chris' own website.)"

    george bush let 9/11 happen so the U.S could go to war on israel's behalf.

    the anthrax attacks were designed to scare the bejesus out of the lawmakers so the USAPATRIOT act would get passed without even being read.

    the Project for a new american century, who's members include most of Bush's (jewish) high cabal advocate the US's development of genotype-specific biological weapons.

    Arabs are NOT the enemy. your goverment wants you to think they are.

    PS:
