What does php lack compared to C/C++ or Java? Multithreading, multithreading, multithreading…
I was chatting with a former colleague yesterday and complained about PHP and Swoole. He believed that PHP was full of pitfalls and that PHP had great limitations. PHP+Swoole is not suitable for high-concurrency servers, C+Swoole is the best solution. C++ has various data structures, C++ can open threads, and C++ can share objects. It seems necessary to explain it carefully.
What does HP lack compared to C/C++ or Java? Multi-threading, multi-threading, multi-threading...
Yes. PHP has fewer threads than C/C++ and Java. PHP only has a multi-process solution, so global variables and objects in PHP are not shared, data structures cannot be operated across processes, Socket file descriptors cannot be shared, etc. So PHP has limitations?
Multi-threading seems to be much more powerful than multi-processing. In fact, I can responsibly tell you that multi-threading brings more pitfalls.
Data synchronization issues will crash you. Either sacrifice performance and add locks everywhere, or use hell-hard lock-free concurrent programming. As far as I know, there are very few people in China who can master this skill.
Don’t think that everything will be fine if you add a lock. You will be in trouble with the deadlock problem. When your program logic becomes complex, locks become increasingly difficult to control. Once deadlocked, your program is basically doomed.
If a thread hangs, all threads will exit
Instead, we are looking at multiple processes, which is actually much simpler.
With inter-process communication, you can basically achieve any data sharing. For example, a process is used to specifically store data structures and objects, and all data operations of other processes are delivered to this process
Multiple processes do not require locks
Multiple processes can use shared memory data structures to implement some multi-threading functions. For example, Table and Atomic provided by Swoole can realize data sharing, but the cost is very low. Shared memory queues will be added in the future
The so-called PHP restricts Swoole is completely nonsense. Proper use of Table, Atomic, SendMessage/PipeMessage, and Task provided by Swoole can completely implement asynchronous and non-blocking code logic.
Do programs written in C++ have better performance?
This is completely blind superstition. C++ does have advantages for computationally intensive programs. The core of the concurrent server is IO, not large-scale intensive computing. C++ has no advantages from a language perspective. In addition, most data structures in C++ have corresponding implementations in PHP. If it is not possible, you can still solve it by writing a special extension yourself.
The high-concurrency server can maintain 10W connections per machine and can handle 3-5W messages sent and received per second. This level of performance can already be applied to BAT's core system.
What does it mean to have fast development efficiency?
This colleague also said that although PHP server development is faster than C++, C++ is still needed to pursue the ultimate performance. I'm going to tell you what it means to be efficient. Developing a good program is not an easy task and requires programmers to invest a lot of time and energy. The significance of improving development efficiency is not simply that I can complete the work in less time, but that in the remaining time you can add unit tests, fix bugs, improve user experience, improve details, provide supporting tools, optimize performance, add key logs, and increase Monitor alarms and add disaster recovery plans.

This tutorial demonstrates how to efficiently process XML documents using PHP. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a versatile text-based markup language designed for both human readability and machine parsing. It's commonly used for data storage an

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,

A string is a sequence of characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols. This tutorial will learn how to calculate the number of vowels in a given string in PHP using different methods. The vowels in English are a, e, i, o, u, and they can be uppercase or lowercase. What is a vowel? Vowels are alphabetic characters that represent a specific pronunciation. There are five vowels in English, including uppercase and lowercase: a, e, i, o, u Example 1 Input: String = "Tutorialspoint" Output: 6 explain The vowels in the string "Tutorialspoint" are u, o, i, a, o, i. There are 6 yuan in total

Static binding (static::) implements late static binding (LSB) in PHP, allowing calling classes to be referenced in static contexts rather than defining classes. 1) The parsing process is performed at runtime, 2) Look up the call class in the inheritance relationship, 3) It may bring performance overhead.

Java 8 introduces the Stream API, providing a powerful and expressive way to process data collections. However, a common question when using Stream is: How to break or return from a forEach operation? Traditional loops allow for early interruption or return, but Stream's forEach method does not directly support this method. This article will explain the reasons and explore alternative methods for implementing premature termination in Stream processing systems. Further reading: Java Stream API improvements Understand Stream forEach The forEach method is a terminal operation that performs one operation on each element in the Stream. Its design intention is

What are the magic methods of PHP? PHP's magic methods include: 1.\_\_construct, used to initialize objects; 2.\_\_destruct, used to clean up resources; 3.\_\_call, handle non-existent method calls; 4.\_\_get, implement dynamic attribute access; 5.\_\_set, implement dynamic attribute settings. These methods are automatically called in certain situations, improving code flexibility and efficiency.

In PHP8, match expressions are a new control structure that returns different results based on the value of the expression. 1) It is similar to a switch statement, but returns a value instead of an execution statement block. 2) The match expression is strictly compared (===), which improves security. 3) It avoids possible break omissions in switch statements and enhances the simplicity and readability of the code.

Capsules are three-dimensional geometric figures, composed of a cylinder and a hemisphere at both ends. The volume of the capsule can be calculated by adding the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the hemisphere at both ends. This tutorial will discuss how to calculate the volume of a given capsule in Java using different methods. Capsule volume formula The formula for capsule volume is as follows: Capsule volume = Cylindrical volume Volume Two hemisphere volume in, r: The radius of the hemisphere. h: The height of the cylinder (excluding the hemisphere). Example 1 enter Radius = 5 units Height = 10 units Output Volume = 1570.8 cubic units explain Calculate volume using formula: Volume = π × r2 × h (4
