You can store PHP sessions in Memcache or Redis. High traffic websites with multiple application nodes choose either sticky sessions with file session storage (recommended) or centralized Memcache or Redis session storage. If you choose Memcache or Redis you should NOT...

So, maybe your employer want you to use Windows. Obviously you still want to use Linux as you want to run whatever operating system your production servers run. If running Virtualbox or VMWare causes too much switching between environments then WSL...

In the previous post I showed how to do high frequency metrics in PHP with TCP sockets. In this post I'll show how to collect and combine metrics from multiple PHP application servers. Instead of sending the log lines from each server to a single node, the monotonically...
