Hi. Is it (compiler) suppose to be supported on the server _in addition_
to normal php engine? anyway, for the user's (lonely wolf's:) prospective
- where is it - and how much?

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DEV] Fork() in php?

2001-05-21 Thread Plutarck

IMHO, one of the main attractions of open source software is that the
creators themselves are easy to contact. Getting a question answered by a
company usually involves talking to customer service, who gets an answer
from a supervisor, who asked the lead of the programming department, who
asked the guys in charge of the parts of the code your asking about, who
read through some internal documentation and maybe the code itself, to get
the answer.

With open source your questions are usually answered by someone who actually
works on the code itself. And sometimes the people who actually 'invented'
the product are the one's you're talking to!

To me, that's just really cool. It's the main attraction to open-source and
small companys for me; you get to talk to the people in charge. Suggest
something good and it may get done. It's like being really rich without
being able to buy anything. ;)

Which is precisely why it's wise to treat everyone in the community with an
equal level of respect, because you're already talking to the people in
charge.

The PHP Group, Zend, and individuals like Rasmus control what PHP will and
won't support. None of them do it on there own. There are no real dictators
who control the flow of PHP's future, which is how open-source is suppose to
be.

 Well, if anyone can be said to have invented it, it's Rasmus. At some
 point around 96 (?) he was approached by Zeev and some others who
 suggested to recode what was then PHP/FI from scratch. The outcome was
 PHP 3.0 . . . shouldn't someone write a history of PHP?

 A little anecdote I keep telling is that back in '97, when I asked my
 very first question on this list, it was answered within less than half
 an hour by the mighty Rasmus himself! Having worked with M$ stuff mostly
 up until then if felt, wow, this is like, I post to Microsoft and get an

 scriptiong environment to go for. This won me over.

 Not really, the parent has to somehow call wait() on the child, otherwise
 you'd get zombie processes...
 Generally, implementing that sort of stuff within the Apache framework is a
 bit of asking for trouble :I

 Anyway, PHP really lacks of real multi-threading capabilities.  Things like
 database connection pooling, (non-HTTP) server request handling, and GUI
 event processing could be properly implemented in PHP with multi-threading
 capabilities like the way it is done in Java, Perl, Python, etc. but can't
 be done right in PHP because it lacks multi-threading support.

 Any plans to add multi-threading capabilities to PHP?

Nope, but you can use the ticks feature to do some of this.

Not very good.  With ticks you never can run two PHP commands at the same
time, like for instance executing two or more SQL queries at the same time.
That is a shame for PHP because for instance in Java that is a breeze.

Anyway, I was asking Zeev, will PHP ever have multi-threading capabilities?

And no, PHP is unlikely to have multi-threading anytime soon.

How can you be so sure?

Weren't you the one that was saying that you opposed to the existence of a
PHP compiler?  Despite your opposition, Zeev and Andi brought it up to the
joy of many PHP users.

Since Zeev and Andi seem to be currently the most capable developers to bring
multi-threading capability to PHP because they developed PHP current engine
- Zend, my question still goes for them.  After all they always seemed more
reasonable and opened to my suggestions than you.

If you want to ask about a possible feature, mail the PHP-DEV list or

IIRC Rasmus was one of the main people involved in bringing PHP to life, it
also resembles BASH because of involvement there, if this is wrong maybe
Rasmus can tell me off list or anyone may be able to point me to some info
that I can read.

Anyway as a general rule, there is no point in antagonising any coder that
produces code that's Open Source and under the GPL lic, now if you had a
200k contract to produce code that was specified, it would be entirely
appropriate. I read what was said as its not a focus point, but was not
ruled out.

What is the ticks feature and where can I read about it? The only

about something you call by doing register_tick_function() . . . but
nothing substantial in the way of documentation.
