PHP

PHP has become the most important scripting language for the use on homepages. The latest version brings many improvements for object oriented programming (OOP) as well as security fixes. While many web hosts might be slow on upgrading to the latest PHP5x versions and tend to stick with PHP4 a lot, PHP6 is already in developement.

Speeding up your PHP database application

A sheet over at talks.php.net shows you how to speed up your PHP database application using a practicable example. An actual real-world setup (Ubuntu, Apache, PHP5, MySQL) is used for this benchmark.

By the use of conventional techniques such as APC, query caching, direct MySQL queries, persistent database connections, the number of possible script hits per second could be raised from 17 to over 1100.
