RE: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion

<snip> Have you tried PHP 4.x? Give that a shot and see what effects that has on the application. </snip> We have used PHP with IIS and SQL Server like you said, I can say from experience that PHP 5 had the same problems as the initial poster described. The pages would time out and hang randomly. I put a 4.x version of PHP on the machine and it's been working ever since. Also if you plan on using PHP with SQL Server and Linux we have been using 5 with no problems for over a year now. It gets pretty heavy use daily. The only gripe I have is FreeTDS only allows one connection at a time, I'd love to use a JDBC driver with PHP. We're looking at using PHP and Hibernate which would let us use JDBC.. Best of luck.
