Utah Open Source Conference Presentation: Anatomy of a PHP Request

The Utah Open Source Conference is coming up at the end of this week (October 7-9). I’ll be giving an updated version of my Anatomy of a PHP Request presentation on the opening day, this Thursday. The last paragraph sums it up nicely:

By the end of this presentation you’ll be familiar with the series of events involved with every PHP request and the tools to measure and improve the performance of your scripts.

If you are going to be at the conference be sure to drop by and say hi.

Utah PHP Users Group Presentation: Anatomy of a PHP Request

I’ll be presenting at the next Utah PHP Users Group (UPHPU) meeting on Anatomy of a PHP Request:

Ever wondered what really happens when your PHP script runs? I’ll cover the major milestones in the life and times of a PHP request (read, parse, compile, execute, output ) and where to look for road bumps along the way. There are lots of tools available to make your PHP purr like a kitten, so I’ll dive into op code caches (with APC), op code dumps (with VLD – Vulcan Logic Dumper), and profiling (with Xdebug and webgrind). It will be a great time digging a little deeper in to PHP!

The meeting is at:
