PHP4 to PHP5 Performance Improvements

Monday, March 30, 2009, 08:59 AM CST [Programming]

Flickr's head of "plumbing" posted a fun teaser game a few days ago by posting a graph which showed a large drop in CPU utilization on a Flickr web server and asked the community what caused the drop.

ONEsite is fortunate enough to have run PHP5 from the very beginning (2004/2005) and been able to take advantage of all of the wonderful OOP features and enhancements that were the basis of Zend Engine II.

PHP is a terrific language that allows for rapid prototyping and enterprise level performance. It also has a great community built up around it and fantastic developers.

Personally, I am looking forward to PHP 5.3 being released as generally available so that we can take advantage of late static bindings. It's a great time to be a PHP developer, and it's also easier than ever to share data between programs in different languages.
