Meet the latest open source software developer: Facebook?
kguske writes "
That's right. Facebook is a technology company, serving billions and billions of pages each week (actually, over 100 billion per week, but I couldn't resist a nod to Carl Sagan and McDonald's). And doing so efficiently. So it should come as no surprise that the company has developed some unique software. On Feb. 2, the company released HipHop for PHP.
What is HipHop for PHP? Facebook describes it as:
...a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it. HipHop executes the source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features — such as eval() — in exchange for improved performance. HipHop includes a code transformer, a reimplementation of PHP's runtime system, and a rewrite of many common PHP Extensions to take advantage of these performance optimizations.
This is a fascinating look behind the scenes of arguably one of the most successful websites ever (and certainly, one of the most successful PHP-based websites). But do so quickly before Google, Oracle or someone with higher revenues and / or stock valuation decides to snatch Facebook up...

PHP Upgrade Improves Windows Support
nb1 writes "PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) 5.3, a significant upgrade to the server-side scripting language for Web applications, is expected to be available in a beta release in October, a representative of the PHP community said on Wednesday.
Version 5.3 features improved support for Windows, said Andi Gutmans, who is participating in the development of the release and is CTO at PHP tools vendor Zend Technologies. Gutmans spoke about the release during an interview at the company's ZendCon 2008 conference in Santa Clara, Calif. on Wednesday afternoon.
"The community has worked on creating a much better binary package for PHP on Windows, which includes the latest [Microsoft] compilers," to benefit performance, Gutmans said. Additionally, more recent third-party libraries are featured for running PHP applications on Windows, with support for XML, graphic manipulation and database access.
Namespaces, which allows mixing and matching PHP code from various sources, is highlighted in 5.3. This feature enables better maintenance and reuse, Gutmans said. "It allows you to modularize your applications for better maintenance and it makes it easier to use various frameworks together," he said.
