Hi there,
I am thinking about creating a kind of adserver which is customized for
my needs. As I would be most confident in doing this with php, I am
asking myself if this is the right choice or if it would be wiser to
take a C++ aproach for example to get a higher performance just in case
the site grows fast.
Do you guys think that a php build webserver would be able to scale and
perform well enough for serving millions of adimpressions daily?
Thank you for any advice,
Merlin

IIRC, AFAIK, using PHP or C or Java or C++ or anything else, your webserver
will do all the "dirty work"...
If you'd portuguese skills, read [1], otherwise, I'll recomend you to build
careful your server... And just put Web server (i.e. Apache) on it... DB
server, mail server and other server must be in other machines...
"Build careful" means: use a _good_ Linux distro... If you can use Gentoo [2],
you'll get better results...

Just build the darn thing.
It is a simple script, if you find that performance is an issue, then
change your approach.
You can't tell me that your site will explode in usage over night and
you wont get the chance to change your design before things get out of hand.

Use php and get the site on the air ASAP, so it generates revenue.
You can a quickly and cheaply upgrade the hardware if the need arises. The OS and webserver software will probably make
a bigger difference. Seems like I recall someone said Google and Yahoo use PHP.

Google is a Python shop primarily, but Yahoo employs a good chunk of the PHP
internals development team, like Rasmus and Sara Goleman. They do a ton with
PHP.

My approach would be to build now using the fastest way and get the thing up
& running, and then see if the needs arise to build the application using a
somehow slower way.

while trying to use exec('IECapt.exe ' . escapeshellarg($website_url) . ' ' .
escapeshellarg($cached_filename)); i get the following error
Warning: exec() [function.exec]: Unable to fork [IECapt.exe
"http://www.nepalnews.com.np";
"C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/5531ed95934bee318939d9270b2db620.png"] ...................
This piece of code is from
http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/website-thumbnail-generator.php
I couldn't figure out why this Unable to fork is occuring. I search php.net as
well and it says, it might be related to permission issues.
I'm using winxp and iis.
I hope someone would help me with this.
Regards
Rajiv

Hi,
I'm looking for a piece of software or coding that will let me post a form
to another URL, accept the response, search it for a specific "success"
string and then let me continue processing the rest of my program.
I want to accept queries on behalf of my supplier, forward it to them behind
the scenes, accept their response and display it within my website.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Is there a simple, basic utility
to let me do this?
I was kind of hoping I could avoid developing it myself.
Thanks
Shannon
