Quercus: Faster PHP through Java

• yannis 17y ago
  Anyone tried this? Sounds like a promising way of boosting PHP performance.

    I haven't used Querces, but their Resin Application Server is quite good.

    I was able to run a fairly complex php web application with it; The only issue were the propel models (which I just handcoded)
    • yannis 17y ago
      Thanks, did you use a PHP Framework or you used propel directly (I mostly use CodeIgniter)?
      • jcapote 17y ago
        I wish, it was a classic self homegrown PHP "framework".

  Sounds like they intentionally ignored that PHP has connection pooling and FastCGI to reduce the overhead of spawning new connections and new processes. Looks more like a marketing pdf than a technical paper.

    Well, that's because it basically is. But you can download it for free and it works on other app servers besides Resin: http://quercus.caucho.com/ http://quercus.caucho.com/

  One of the most interesting applications of running PHP on Java is that it enables you to run PHP on Google's Appengine (yeah, I know, if all you have is a hamer...) See http://www.webdigi.co.uk/blog/2009/run-php-on-the-google-app-engine/ http://www.webdigi.co.uk/blog/2009/run-php-on-the-google-app... Someone runs wordpress on Appengine via Java: http://blog.caucho.com/?p=196 http://blog.caucho.com/?p=196
