Re: [PHP] Converting Perl to PHP? From: aldham <email protected>
Date: 07/04/00

Having recently done the exact reverse, the big change is to change all the
curly brackets, { , to square brackets, [ .
Then the DBI calls have to be changed.

But as much as I like PHP, I have to wonder why you would convert from Perl
to PHP. I went the other way because I felt that PHP was bogging down under
load. When I ran the unix command top, I could see that serving up a fairly
intensive page was pinning out the CPU for 2 to 3 seconds. So I converted to
Perl, and then to Mod_Perl. Mod_Perl is over 20 times faster than PHP.
I have put my benchmarks generated with the apache utility ab up at
www.aldham.net/benchmarks/BenchMarks.php3 . All three benchmarks were run
on the same web server, same binary, same database underneath (Postgres).
