Yesterday a friend was requesting a MYSQL/PHP Consultant to speed up his websites, and today I was reading few comments and solutions on his facebook : Use APC, mem_cache for PHP, mysql query caching, use nginx instead of Apache, Use mysqli extension instead of adodb or mysql extension … etc. Of course all of these could be solutions, but unless you have previously located what the problem really is. A website could be slow for many reasons, and to be able to fix it and make it run faster you have to first find problem. What you will need to know is : 1- Understand the business : Before looking into PHP or MySQL, have a first look at the website(s) and answer these two questions : – What is slow – Why is it slow Look at the page size, images, video, flash, … your issue might be in the client side and everything else might be good. Use a tool like Firefox web developer extension and disable everything : CSS, Javascript, Images… and load the page as html to feel the difference. The business here is NOT the business logic behind the website, it’s the interface that people use to interact with the website. If everything looks okay, you can go for further server-side investigations

Davey Shafik posted recently a very interesting article making the case for PHP . It’s not about comparing programming languages capabilities, but especially concerning access to people and market penetration. Davey pointed to an old post that gives an estimation of Perl, Php, Python and Ruby Programmers availability according to most popular search engines. I updated the estimation so we can have most accurate results. The table below illustrates the results found, I have just truncated Bing results to 1M to have more readable chart, after all I don’t believe there are 50M resumes indexed by Microsoft – and that’s another topic. PHP Perl Ruby Python Google 788000 57000 14100 26300 Yahoo 541000 377000 41500 82400 Bing (MSN) 59700000 10200 18400 4900 Programmer’s Resumes in Search Engines

Intruder Consulting, a telecom company based in Mexico, relies on SourceGuardian encryption software to safeguard its VoIP products. Intruder’s aCube software was extremely vulnerable to piracy by clients who had only leased the software for a specific term or who had not bought the entire system. The PHP files and database could easily be copied to another server. SourceGuardian secures aCube’s PHP interface to prevent clients from running the application unless they have purchased the whole system, and it encrypts the PHP files, protecting the program by locking it to specific MAC addresses. In order to avoid losing important lease revenue, Intruder is preparing to use yet another feature of SourceGuardian “to ensure that clients who bought the software on a lease term pay their leases on time, or the interface will not work anymore,” says Intruder Consulting CEO Anton Krall.
