Re: PHP telnet server

Well, I'm only 16 and I'm using 'em. They are pretty good but depreceated rather a lot as graphical MUDs came around. The people on them are generally of the, ah, computing persuasion though so it's a good way to meet people with like interests :) On Thu, 1 Jan 2009, Per Jessen wrote:

I thought he was the one to bring up his concern about PHP and performance - I could be wrong.

That is perhaps a valid consideration, but isn't it easily dealt with by using gigabit ethernet or infiniband or something similar?

We're talking about a text-based MUD here... it's unlikely the user has the will to spring for such resources for this endeavour.

I guess my ignorance or age (or both) is showing, I have no idea what a "text-based MUD" is. I thought we were talking some network gaming engine a la WoW and such. I still think my initial response was appropriate though - if PHP as a language is a performance concern, it's best solved by throwing more hardware at it. If that is not an option, don't use PHP. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
