PHP Optimized for Windows Server 2008

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dogs-and-cats-living-together dept.

Stony Stevenson writes "It used to be that popular PHP applications would run more poorly on Windows Server than on a Linux or Unix servers, for which PHP had been optimized. Specialist in the PHP language Zend Technologies now says that's no longer the case. The Zend Core commercially supported form of PHP has been certified by Microsoft as ready to run 'with performance and stability' on Windows Server 2008, said Andi Gutmans, co-founder and CTO of Zend. Previously, PHP 'didn't run as well as it should on Windows,' said Gutmans, despite the fact that 75% to 80% of PHP users were developing on Windows workstations."

    totally agree with bentob0x , i dont see apache supporting .NET anytime soon. There is no need for this to happen, .NET will do anything ATM, do why go to inherit PHP aswell. No point! Robert new zealand web designers
