Since php.so module is already running as part of apache startup – its ‘very fast’ BUT you do want to keep server.php files smaller (1,000(s) of lines) instead of 50,000(s) of lines. We used a URL name space to have multiple server.php files – e.g. <a href="http://host/login.php">http://host/login.php</a> (login.php is a server.php file), <a href="http://host/accounts.php">http://host/accounts.php</a>, etc. - e.g. 1 ‘server.php’ for grouping of web services. The login.php and account.php, and x.php and y.php can call into shared library.php(s) but again, overall, keep the #includes smaller so each server.php is not ‘too large’. We achieved average 10ms (where php called MSSQL inside) response time for 1,000(s) of simultaneous users on single apache server.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bonus tip<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>We put 1<sup>st</sup> apache server in DNZ zone (publically available for URL) and then used apache reverse proxy over to internal apache that that actually called the server.php(s) for very strong protection.
