Re: PHP or CGI in C/C++

CGI is inherently slow. The way I understand it, php as CGI will probably be pretty much the same speed as C/C++ as CGI. PHP with mod_php should be faster than C/C++ as CGI. Compiling a server module is a complicated business, so you would probably want to avoid trying to compile a C/C++ webapp as a server module unless you have lots of experience (and I doubt you would be asking this question if you have that much experience. A book you might find useful in this context is Chris Radcliff's Perl for the Web. (Perl is one of PHP's grandpappies, so much of the discussion will apply to PHP.) > I appreciate your comments in advance.
