In the previous post , I discussed what it took to use PGO on the Windows PHP build. That led to me building automated build scripts... Automation as the root of all evil "Anything that can be done for you, automatically, can be done to you, automatically." - David C. Wyland First, I had to get the entire dependency stack into the mix. While some of the dependent libraries had VCProject files, some didn't. Worse, even if they had them, you couldn't tell with a degree of certainty that they were compiled...( read more ) Read More...

The last several months, I've been working very deeply with PHP - specifically, compiling the PHP core itself, and looking for avenues for optimization. This is the first of four posts about the journey I've been on with PHP. I get started building PHP "It is a bad plan that admits of no modification" - Publilius Syrus I started working with building PHP itself about a year ago. Initially, I was trying to put together an environment to compile up the PHP stack so that I could do some debugging, and...( read more ) Read More...
Last week I got the perfect excuse to get out of the Planning and Budget process that we are going through right now, attending PHP|Tek, which was a welcome escape as planning and budgeting in any company is usually enough fun to make a grown man cry! So last week I went to PHP|Tek in Chicago to speak and meet folk from the PHP community. As always, I greatly enjoy meeting the people who write and use PHP, and I have been to and spoken with enough of the speakers at past events that I know a lot...( read more ) Read More...

Howdy, I've been working for many months with Pierre Joye - well, really many people in the PHP community - on getting PHP to run faster on Windows. Pierre has been working rapidly on upgrading libraries (Pierre pioneered the work to get PHP and its hoard of dependent libraries updated and properly compiling on Windows), replacing old POSIX-emulation code with native calls, patching bugs, and about a million other things, all of which had a huge impact on performance and stability of PHP on Windows...( read more ) Read More...
