PHP vs Java performance on MySQL

[Rajesh Kapur]

Does PHP work better than Java with MySQL? What are pros and cons of using
PHP vs Java? Which one is faster?
Can someone share the experience or point me to some good white papers or
benchmarks? Thanks.

Re: PHP vs Java performance on MySQL

I can't really give you details because I never made any benchmarks, but
I don't think there is any difference. PHP uses the MySQL client
library, and if you use native JDBC drivers for MySQL, you end up using
the exact same library. In both cases, the slow down does not come from
the client library anyway, it comes from the server actually processing
the request (which isn't long anyway, in most cases).

At that level, the language you choose for your application is a matter
of convenience.

I wrote a content management system in PHP/MySQL to work in hosted
environments on a variety of machines. But now I have my own server to
work with. I'm wondering if the CMS would run faster if I rewrote it
in Java? I wrote the CMS mostly as OO, so it would be fairly easy to
port, I think.
