I’ve decided to use PHP 4.1.1 and MySql to develop my site running on Tomcat using Microsoft-IIS/6.0, the latter details being meaningless to me as i haven’t a clue what that does or doesn’t mean. Also, i’m using ADOdb to talk to MySql and any existing customer database ii may have to deal with in the future.
Anyway, i have no real problems with the coding, i’ve taken a procedural approach despite this version of PHP supporting modularisation. Although my coding is primitive by experienced developers standards it is suprisingly brief and functions adequately.
My concern now is how and where my set-up will deal with multiple concurrent user requests which i assume is thread handling. I’m also concerned about bottlenecking of the database and Tomcats capabilities (would Apache be better?). Finally, if by some miracle anything i produce needs scaling what support does my set-up provide? Excuse the volume of questions but i’m a bit of a novice in at the deep end.
