Big sites running PHP
The question about what big sites are running on has been asked before here, so I thought it might be interesting for some to read this article about a survey of some bigger/popular sites.
At least in this small selection, LAMP seems to be a popular choice.

I've not had that once.. I'm sure if you were to c+p a snip we could identify it really quickly, but would need to be careful of any legal infringements.iknownothing wrote:I would be interested in knowing what Youtube uses, because 9 times out of 10, Firefox hands me the sourcecode and not the actual page.
Its not coldfusion. Originally they built the site with coldfusion and fusebox. The site was built so that when you created a page it actually wrote out new pages in coldfusion markup. So all of the sudden they had thousand and thousands of these source files all over the place.hawleyjr wrote:And yet myspace uses coldfusion...I'd rather see a study on sites that are using technology they shouldn't be using
Obviously it didn't scale well, converting all thousands of files to another language would be damn near impossible...
So get this.... They take .NET, license the coldfusion language, and rewrite the entire engine in .NET. So what you are actually seeing is a mad scientist combination of fusebox, coldfusion markup, and .NET insanity all mashed together into a giant rat's nest from hell.
I am sure its a lot better than just coldfusion though.
Crumbs. That's crazy stuff. And at the same time sublimely cool.Begby wrote:So get this.... They take .NET, license the coldfusion language, and rewrite the entire engine in .NET.
