20. PHP on Windows, with IIS

21. PHP on Windows It’s actually been around for a long time Most PHP developers: Develop on Windows Deploy to Linux, BSD, *nix. Perception that PHP on IIS sucks (this was true) Often install Apache for Dev or Production

22. Performance vs. Reliability CGI Invokes a new php.exe process for each request Advantage Very stable Disadvantage SLOOOW due to I/O overhead of Process Creation on Windows ISAPI PHP Loaded as an extension in IIS’s memory space Advantages Better performance Disadvantages Not very stable Many PHP (PECL) extensions are not Thread-Safe FastCGI Process caching and pooling mechanism Advantages Faster than CGI More Stable than ISAPI Can run non-thread- safe versions of PHP and PECL extensions

23. FastCGI: Pooling and Caching PHP processes are reused. No process creation overhead = 20x performance increase PHP HTTP Request index.php HTTP Request index.php HTTP Request login.php HTTP Request login.php PHP HTTP Request header.php HTTP Request header.php FastCGI process pool for PHP5 PHP

24. IIS7+ FastCGI Handler Basic Architecture FastCGI process pool for PHP5 IIS Worker Process Read ConfigurationAuthenticateAuthorizeMap RequestHandle RequestSend ResponseLog Request FastCGI handler ASP.NET Static Request queue php-cgi.exe FastCGI process pool for PHP4 php.exe FastCGI protocol over named pipes or TCP
