PHP won't directly work without at least the help from a runtime library where most of the time is spent. Feel free to implement it, I think no dev currently sees benefit in this and therefore won't implement it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-30 00:08:41] zy at adels dot zp dot ua Description: ------------ Why not to compile PHP to a native code. This will dramatically increase its execution speed. PHP developers really need this because it is expensive to use PHP when developing complicated web application. For example, now I have a project where system needs to make a lot of calculations to make a series of decisions using data from the database containing several millions of records. One of its components has a following statistics: [Debug] Time: 9.511 [Debug] Queries: 6135 [Debug] Query time: 3.11026215553 This means that it took 3 seconds to make more than 6 thousands of not simple queries and 6.5 seconds to process them using PHP. Native code (or even .NET code which compiles to native code) performs such kind of tasks faster in order of magnitude. We really need a native code compiler (at least for x86 Linux and Windows). If it was possible to create a compiler for Visual Basic 5 and 6 then it is possible to create one for PHP. Expected result: ---------------- faster execution ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43978&edit=1
