OK having jumped through several hoops trying to get a stable installation of
Apache2.4.1 with PHP5.4 and Firebird 2.5.1 I now have a machine running and
while I've not been able to do a speed comparison as yet performance does seem
to be improved on what a simple comparison of machine speed improvement would
suggest.
Being a 6 core processor, on does wonder if better threaded performance of PHP
with Apache would be an advantage? But the main problem now is handling an array
of 'nanny' messages telling me that the code is badly written. Since the code
base has been developed form an environment where it was still PHP4 compatible,
many of the 'incremental improvements' of PHP5.2 and PHP5.3 have yet to be
addressed, so I suspect that while the code runs clean with 'display_errors' ON
in 5.3.10 I suspect every one of several hundred files now needs to be modified
to include things like 'private/protected/static' correctly in every base and
descendent class? Of cause things are not helped when PEAR packages add their
own array of warnings, but the main problem is where the heck to start on this.
I think what I am probably looking for is a clean guide as to how code SHOULD be
written nowadays in order to avoid the nanny messages since it's certainly not
my normal practice after 10 years of coding in PHP5 ...
