Are you running this on a Unix server? If you are you could probably handle hundreds of thousands of hits a day with a single PIII and 128 megs of RAM. If you're not serving a mass amount of hits (tens of thousands) the you have no reason to be concerned. ----- Original Message ----- From: Juan Manuel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 10:37 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] Web Development Language of Choice Recently I read an article on Information Week magazine (January, 2000). They compare PHP and Perl for Web Development. Because I'm not a Perl developer I only focus on PHP. Do you know how many RAM use PHP for each hit ? And if we're using database access, How is affected the performance of our web site?
