PHP is easy to use for web development because it has been designed from onset for web environment. PHP has many built-in functions that make web programming simpler, so that programmers can focus on logic of programming without wasting precious development time.

PHP as a language has its own way of doing things, and at same time, has borrowed features from other languages. But for many people, main reason for learning a scripting language like PHP is because of interaction with databases it can offer. Moreover, PHP is cross platform i.e. it allows you to use/develop your solution on multiple OSs.

PHP is one of fastest growing server side scripting languages around and you need to add it to your current arsenal of Perl, ASP, JSP, JavaScript, VBScript, Java...

PHP and Daffodil DB: Together…?

Daffodil has come up with a PHP extension module that makes Daffodil DB/One$DB compatible with PHP. It is a database extension module driver that is required to work with Daffodil DB in PHP. This extension module uses capabilities of a Java database and extends it to your web infrastructure.

By using this extensive module, PHP developers can create sophisticated data-driven web applications, having Daffodil DB as a web database, in a fraction of time and with reduced cost.

PHP extension for Daffodil DB provides a simple, yet effective means for connecting to Daffodil DB from within PHP. The JVM is created using JNI invocation interface and everything runs in-process.

This PHP Extension module will boost open Source activities around Daffodil DB. Moreover, open Source stack -Linux, Apache, One$DB, and PHP; all being open source products, will give an ultimate combination to web development community.

PHP is platform independent, Daffodil DB is platform independent. PHP is free; so as Daffodil DB (open source version).PHP is open source; Daffodil DB has an open source version. So What about using powers of two most promising technologies, PHP and Daffodil DB, together…?

The capabilities of Daffodil DB

When playing games, watching DVDs and manipulating digital images, you must make sure that you have right graphics card and it is set up to maximize your experience.

Avoiding slowdowns is not just all about your hardware and system settings. It also depends on how many programs you have installed and on how secure your computer is when connected to internet.

By “how many programs you have installed” I don’t mean that more software you install on your computer slower it will be.

Rather over lifetime of your PC, you will find yourself installing a portfolio of programs that you have bought, borrowed or downloaded. As this collection increases, so will collection of shortcuts in your automatic start-up list increase without your knowledge and approval.

As you add more programs that must be started when you switch on your computer, you will see a general degradation of performance and a slow down in boot-up times.

Spyware and viruses are a nuisance not only because they can steal or damage your data. They usually add processes that run in background and are completely invisible to you. They sometimes even fool Windows and your other security tools in thinking that they are legitimate programs.

How do you keep track of all this? Well, even most experienced users find it extremely difficult to control all resources and system settings of there computers.

They are constantly tweaking their PCs manually while using software that help them.

Next week, I will tell you how you can keep track of more important resources of your PCs and how to improve way they interact to give you more power at your fingertips.

Just as a sneak preview, though, hold this thought: there exist some nifty utilities, like SpeedUpMyPC, that give you automated tools that really boost performance of any computer.
