AmsterdamPHP Monthly Meeting Talk 15-08-2013: Quick Binary PHP Extension
August/2013 Meeting: http://www.meetup.com/AmsterdamPHP/ev...
Talk: "The Quick Binary PHP extension"
While PHP is an excellent language for building complex web application, it imposes certain limitations. Writing code that performs low-level, computationally intensive tasks in PHP is generally impractical--it'd simply be too slow. The QB extension addresses this particular weakness of PHP. By translating Zend opcodes and executing them through a statically typed virtual machine, QB offers an order-of-magnitude gain in performance. The added power allows PHP programmers do things they were unable to do before, such a complex, pixel-level image manipulation.
