Some people say that a script coded in C++ is way faster than PHP. And some say its not.

Whats your opinions on this?

It's faster at most things. Generally any compiled language is going to be faster.

It's not an easy question to answer, because they are languages... speed/delays depend completely on how you set up your server. eg, a server with PHP statically linked as an Apache module (ie: it's a part of Apache) may actually be comparable to, or faster than a server that has to load up an executable from cgi-bin each time.

C++ is faster than PHP !

C is compiled, PHP is interpreted. Compiled languages are usually faster.

You can improve the speed of your PHP scripts by using Zend Encoder or Turck MM Cache.

C++ is way faster for standalone programs of course being compiled.

But C++ running in cgi-bin can be slower than php, at least out of the box the old fashioned way.

So the answer is "maybe". Depends on what you are doing.

coolfuck · 10-20-2004, 10:15 AM

it is faster

pussyluver · 10-20-2004, 10:17 AM

So if you did everything right. C++ is faster.

There is always an exception somewhere to everything.

How about this. PHP is faster to code.

xclusive · 10-20-2004, 10:17 AM

it's faster but any code is only as good as the coder...

Thats what some programmers in another forum also said.

I read an article a couple of months back comparing C to Perl to PHP. There was something in there about C for loops being 50% faster then Perl and PHP.
