There was a study just put out by eWeek that compared IIS 5 and Apache 2.0. Of course, the latest and greatest Apache can keep up just fine with Microsoft's entry into the field. One thing to note here, too, is that they didn't test the Unix version of Apache against the Windows version of IIS - both were Windows versions. It's still pretty cool that now sites that move from IIS to Apache 2.0 on Windows won't have to worry about taking a performance hit. Well, that and Apache has always historicaly been much more secure than IIS (note the 10 new "holes" MS found, including several buffer overruns).
Also today, if you'll all help me and the other PHPDN members welcome the newest member of the PHP Developer's Network - PHPClasses.org. This site's been around for as long as I can remember, and was one of the first places that I went when I was getting into PHP. They are quite a welcome addition to our little group of sites, and they are the first one to be included outside of the three founding sites (us, EvilWalrus, and NewbieNetwork). Here's a brief rundown on what they're all about:
- What is the "PHP Classes Repository"?
- PHP Classes Repository is an experimental service that is intended to be as means of distribution of freely available programming classes of objects written the Web scripting language named PHP. The goal of this service is build a base of programming components ready to be used in Web applications written in PHP.
