From: zy at adels dot zp dot ua Operating system: Windows/Linux PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Compile PHP to native code
Description: ------------ Why not to compile PHP to a native code. This will dramatically increase its execution speed. PHP developers really need this because it is expensive to use PHP when developing complicated web application. For example, now I have a project where system needs to make a lot of calculations to make a series of decisions using data from the database containing several millions of records. One of its components has a following statistics: [Debug] Time: 9.511 [Debug] Queries: 6135 [Debug] Query time: 3.11026215553 This means that it took 3 seconds to make more than 6 thousands of not simple queries and 6.5 seconds to process them using PHP. Native code (or even .NET code which compiles to native code) performs such kind of tasks faster in order of magnitude. We really need a native code compiler (at least for x86 Linux and Windows). If it was possible to create a compiler for Visual Basic 5 and 6 then it is possible to create one for PHP. Expected result: ---------------- faster execution -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43978&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43978&r=mysqlcfg
