I'm thinking of a PHP extention to turn PHP into an Erlang "C-node",
and then use Erlang to manage persistent data, communication, etc.
Basically what Yariv does, but with a PHP front-end.
So PHP would look like this:
$pid = erl_self();
erl_send( "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "{~p,get_user_info,~d}", $pid, $userId );
list( $i, $term ) = erl_receive( "{ok,UserName,UserAge}", "{error,Why}" );
switch( $i ) {
case 0:
list( $name, $age ) = erl_extract( $term );
...
case 1:
list( $why ) = erl_extract( $term );
echo( "error: $why" );
...
}
I'm a bit unsure about the best way to pull the data out of the Erlang
terms. I've only skimmed through the erl_interface docs.
Why? Because although I haven't tried it, yet, I suspect Erlang would
make a better, more stable and scalable back-end than a memcache+Java
combination. And you need PHP because, well, it's so popular.
