   The ironic thing about Facebook releasing this is they're (and a handful of other sites) are the only ones that would really benefit from this. I do love that they release it as open source. At my last company, we handled about 20 million A

   I don't think it's logical. Stock PHP can easily handle a website with 250k monthly visits. Or, rather, your speedups will most likely come from talking to the database less, doing less IO, that sort of thing. CPU probably isn't your bott

   I ask this question as well. I work mostly with PHP developers and it's telling most of them don't have an answer or only say "consistent function argument order". If you claim to have 7+ years using a language, surely there's a list of thi

    I use Phing to download whatever version I want during build time and to place it in a lib/vendors/ directory. So, for example I use pieces of Zend and the Google AdWords PHP SDK with my recent project, so in a build.settings file, I have:

    I'm not sure of the technical details, but the data on LiveDrive may only be decrypted with a key that Backify has, and thus LiveDrive couldn't give you your data in a useable format. From what others have said, I'm inclined to agree with L
