Running Business-Critical PHP Applications in the Cloud Cloud computing is exponentially growing as a viable way for businesses and organizations to deliver content and services to users. An economy of scale not seen before is making it cheaper, more efficient and easier to launch and scale new applications. However, the process of launching business-critical applications in the cloud and managing them once they are deployed can be a complex and time consuming process that diminishes many of the initial benefits of moving applications to the cloud. |

PHP is Not Java: Session Management White Paper PHP is used by developers that have a wide range of backgrounds and skill levels. When writing scalable PHP applications, it is crucial to understand the “shared nothing“ architecture of PHP. The most misunderstood component in this architecture is the session handling. PHP sessions are different from the ones used in other languages. Due to the “shared nothing“ architecture of PHP, objects cannot survive a request. Session data is therefore serialized to external storage for each request, meaning that only serializable data can be stored, not resources such as DB handles. This is a very powerful and scalable approach for session data averaging around 10-100kb, as serialized session storage can easily be spread over a cluster and serialization does not introduce a great deal of overhead. |

PHP 4 to PHP 5 Migration A little over three years ago, the PHP community released version 5 of its popular programming language. PHP5 has now become the version of choice for many new PHP projects. PHP4 however remains popular and is still widely used. This whitepaper is aimed at developers who are still using PHP4 and considering switching to PHP5. It is also intended to provide IT managers responsible for PHP applications additional information for their decision on whether to stick with their current version or migrate. This paper seeks to answer the questions, “What are the benefits of migrating to PHP5? And, equally importantly, what are the risks?” The information below will put you in a better position to make an informed decision between PHP4 and PHP5. |
