20 Years of PHP!??
PHP Announcement June 8, 1995
Posted to comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
Subject: Announce: Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools)
Announcing the Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools) version 1.0.
These tools are a set of small tight cgi binaries written in C.
They perform a number of functions including:
. Logging accesses to your pages in your own private log files
. Real-time viewing of log information
. Providing a nice interface to this log information
. Displaying last access information right on your pages
. Full daily and total access counters
. Banning access to users based on their domain
. Password protecting pages based on users' domains
. Tracking accesses ** based on users' e-mail addresses **
. Tracking referring URL's - HTTP_REFERER support
. Performing server-side includes without needing server support for it
. Ability to not log accesses from certain domains (ie. your own)
. Easily create and display forms
. Ability to use form information in following documents
Here is what you don't need to use these tools:
. You do not need root access - install in your ~/public_html dir
. You do not need server-side includes enabled in your server
. You do not need access to Perl or Tcl or any other script interpreter
. You do not need access to the httpd log files
The only requirement for these tools to work is that you have
the ability to execute your own cgi programs. Ask your system
administrator if you are not sure what this means.
The tools also allow you to implement a guestbook or any other
form that needs to write information and display it to users
later in about 2 minutes.
The tools are in the public domain distributed under the GNU
Public License. Yes, that means they are free!
For a complete demonstration of these tools, point your browser

void Cos(void) {
Stack *s;
char temp[64];
s = Pop();
if(!s) {
Error("Stack error in cos");
return;
}
sprintf(temp,"%f",cos(s->douval));
Push(temp,DNUMBER);
}And you could then use it like this:
<html><head><title>Cos Example</title></head>
<body><h1>Cos Example</h1>
<?echo Cos($input)>
</body></html>
✔ engine improvements
- 100%+ performance gain on most real-world applications
- Lower memory usage
- Native thread local storage
✔ Persistent secondary file-based cache for OPCache

(...)['foo']
(...)->foo
(...)->foo()
(...)::$foo

First RC scheduled for June 2015
Time and number of machine instructions for 100 requests against Wordpress-3.6.0 front page

- zval size reduced from 24 to 16 bytes
- Hashtable size reduced from 72 to 56 bytes
- Hashtable bucket size reduced from 72 to 32 bytes
- Immutable array optimization
$a = [];
for($i=0; $i < 100000;$i++) $a[] = ['abc'];
echo memory_get_usage(true);
// PHP 5.x 43M
// PHP 7.0 6M- Much more cpu cache friendly
- New memory allocator similar to jemalloc
- Faster hashtable iteration API
- Array duplication optimization
- PCRE JIT enabled by default
- Fast ZPP (ZendParseParameters) implementation
- Faster stack-allocated zvals (instead of heap)
- Optimized VM calling
- Global register variables with gcc 4.8+
- plus hundreds of micro-optimizations
JIT?

Install Vagrant and Virtualbox
Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/rlerdorf/php7dev.git
$ cd php7dev
$ vagrant up
... (takes a bit - it is downloading 1.5G)
$ vagrant sshIt will NAT, DHCP and also has a fixed address of 192.168.7.7
http://192.168.7.7/ will show you the PHP 7 phpinfo() page
Now you have a working Rasmus-approved dev box on your network
