.. It's hard to ignore Windows as a PHP paltform
Wait - What? I use both Windows and Nix, and have always moved to Nix for better speed and security. Do you have links to this statistic?
I would prefer to use 64Bit, but there is no current support for it in PHP.
- powertower 15y agoPeople from Apache, PHP and MySQL have published stats (in conferences and points) that show the Windows and Linux deployment figures for downloads, development work, and production deployments, over the years. The majority of dev work (like local website development and testing) with Apache, PHP, and MYSQL was under Windows. 1/3 of production work was also Windows. This was several years ago and I have seen these numbers increasing in Windows favor.
- desas 15y agoWhere do they get those stats from? Most people deploying or developing on linux will get the packages for all of those things from their distro.
- batista 15y agoEven as early as 2003: <b>Although PHP is universally thought of as implying Linux, Apache and MySQL, nearly 7% of PHP sites [when counting by ip address] run on Windows. This has doubled over the last year</b> (from Netcraft: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/08/30/php_growing_surprisingly_strongly_on_windows.html http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/08/30/php_growing_sur... ). PHP on Windows grew much more later on, what with Microsoft even making several specific changes to IIS et all to accommodate it better.
