Compilers

Anyone use compilers (linux based or Windoze) and which do you use?

Looking for something free (best) or low cost as we are doing some investigation on what methods are best for some of the stuff we have, and I'm thinking a compiled PHP app should run faster.

Thanks!

There's the free eaccelerator. It doesn't spit out compiled php code,
but it does have the same effect by caching the generated byte-code.

I don't know about the free accelerators but the payed ones have some
really impressive results. I managed to speed things up with more than
10 times. It worths every penny.

i wonder if OP is talking about compiling down to binary. there are such
things
available for java
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
albiet older jvms.
i dont know of anything like this available for php; but remember, in
general,
compiling an interpreted language will result in different behavior than
running
it through the interpreter.

In the works:

http://phpcompiler.org/

The guys working on it are still actively developing and answering the
support list. It does not compile to executable yet (I understand it mostly
does except for some tricky parts of the language) but it helps development
with other tools that you will find in their site.
