I can give you some good reasons not to use PHP. Take a look at the Horde/IMP project. It's nice stuff. But my goodness, some of the problems they have....
For example, it is impossible in PHP to open an IMAP connection and save it on the session so that it can be used multiple times. They re-open the IMAP session every request. Talk about murdering scalability... PHP doesn't have threads, and in general is pretty brain dead. Here is the deciding factor: Are you writing software or are you writing scripts? PHP is a scripting language. Java is a programming language. There is a difference. If you are writing software, you need the professional language features that Java offers. If you are writing scripts, then use whatever you would like. -----Original Message----- From: Juan Jos� Vel�zquez Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 April, 2002 5:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tomcat and Apache Server - Instalation and Performance Hello, I have the following environment: OS: Linux Debian Potato http Server: Apache Does anyone can point a good tutorial to install TOMCAT as addon or plugin within Apache Server? How can I compare the performance of this configuration with other technologies? I have to convince the team to use JSP/JavaBeans instead Perl or PHP. How can I calculate the simultaneos users and memory needed for a site? Is there a rule?
