PHP on Windows NT vs. Unix
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight to running php on a windows platform(windows nt) vs. a unix(solaris) platform. This will be a production environment. Just curious to if there are any deffinate pros or cons one way or the other?
Thanks
Bret

So there are no real performance hits for running on windows vs unix or vise-versa?
Just curious if this is like Apache where they have windows ports, but the main development effort was focused toward unix and the production quality version is geared more towards unix?
Thanks for all the replies!!

with heavy database activity (mysql) win32 will beat BSD on comparable servers. BSD has some threading issues (or so ive read).
The test we ran was:
windows 2000, IIS5, php4.2 (ISAPI), mysql 4
vs.
FreeBSD, apache, php4.2, mysql 4
test was running over 25000 queries of all kinds, the win2000 server was about 10% faster for our scripts.

i think it depends on who's using your server. if they are accustom to a unix environment, it hink it's better, especially since redhat teamed with the nsa and apache to create a forthcoming unix/linux server that has DoD security standards met, instead of just paid off like microsoft and iis (if you look closely you figure out that the DoD standards that are suppossively why it's preferred aren't met, and a good admin can make unix more secure with greater ease...from what i've heard through the grapevine there's a push on the network admin level inside the DoD to switch to linux that's being stopped from the fact the DoD hasn't given it's seal of approval on security standards yet)

Unix based is faster than Microsoft's based sys's.
I prefer rendering images on a Unix based sys.
The combination Apache Linux Php Mysql rock's dude.
(microsoft ghnnn, get on moving)

thats a very broad statement, and inaccurate in some cases.Judas wrote: Unix based is faster than Microsoft's based sys's.
