There is a system in PEAR that does that - and I think if they can really get it right - and get it widely used, it will be a killer tool - avoiding all the problems you say. XML is, I think, the wrong tool for this job though. As others have said, making better use of classes to package up applications, even if it means that a program is just a very thin layer that calls the class, would also be incredibly useful - if they just dump output to screen - or use one common template solution (like http://Smarty.php.net). then programmers (like me) could really take different systems and with some very simple configuration, they would just all work together, and without having to write inside a particular framework, like phpNuke or Horde.

You'll want something like this in your mysql.ini file to reduce the time-outs: [mysqld] set-variable= max_connections=750 set-variable= wait_timeout=60 set-variable= thread_cache_size=40 # after 60 secs, expire any waiting threads # but keep up to 40 available in a cache for easy re-use.

As http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php says:
This function is used to import variables from an array into
the current symbol table.
You might want to try declaring the variables that are to be extracted
as global - and see what happens, but I tend to prefer keeping things
to large configuration arrays and then local vars only where I can.
>> $foodefault = array(
>> 'foo_fred'=> 'default fred',

Caveat Programmer: don't name the default array foo_default (or
'{PREFIX}_') - if you had a parameter called 'default', the first
extract would overwrite it, and the second would probably fail (or if
it was an array, extract it - but still not what you wanted).
Caveat Programmer 2: You have to name the default variables in the
array the full and proper post-prefixed name, extract does not appear
to be able to (currently) EXTR_PREFIX_ALL _and_ EXTR_SKIP.

I did a presentation at the PHP London meetup in May - my slides with some good Beanstalk points are at: http://abulman.co.uk/2010/05/queues-and-beanstalkd/ Gearman does have the advantage of being pretty much drop-in and work, calling remote PHP functions (or other languages that are setup as workers). With beanstalkd, there is no solid framework in place yet (though there are a couple of things around, I've seen one for CakePHP, and something for Drupal I think). That said, it's not hard to write one, depending on your personal choice of development framework, or not. Both have solid C-based daemons backing them up (which are so much easier to run than the original Perl daemon). I see Beanstalk as more flexible though, the Priorities, TTR limits, tubes and optional delays make for a powerful set of tools within the queue itself.

There won't be a lot of data to process, but there will be many simultaneous connections— upwards of 1000s of connections (each spun off as seperate threads). it's possible in PHP - but you'll unlikely want to do it as seperate processes, even as threads (besides, PHP doesn't have threads?) Check out http://php.net/stream_select and http://netevil.org/node.php?uuid=427d6d12-c107-9816-7428-27d6d128f5e5 With stream_select and the other stream handling software, there are some guys writing a mail server in PHP. I've got a script opening a dozen outbound connections to an external website to push it data myself, and that saves a lot of time rather than waiting for a connection to come back from fopen/fsockopen Alister -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Also, optimise your tables and use the explain command to see how efficient your queries are. And caching things that don't need to looked up form the database right now. Even the fastest server in the world would wilt under a slashdotting, if it had to do a dozen big queries for every page display. Meanwhile a Pentium3 with a decent network can serve hundreds of requests a second of a few static pages.
