In this new post, Justin Silverton shares a few helpful hints for creating high performance applications in PHP:
- use multi resultset queries to your database rather than many small ones
- page/object caching
- gzip compression
- tune your web server
- Don’t save performance testing for the end of the project
Each of the items has explanation and links to more details on them (including links to three difference object caching applications - ion cube, alternative PHP cache, turck MMCache).
