hi,

i kn know the site which created by PHP and very famous and good ranking as well as traffic??
#programming #famous #php #site
  • Cheap UK Car insurance and home insurance quotes comparison - Confused.com
  • Some apps by Yahoo uses PHP.

    Btw, PHP or what programming language a site uses has no effect on a site's ranking.

    • It's not just some apps. It's my understanding that PHP is Yahoo's language of choice since around 2002. I think Yahoo is a pretty famous site, don't you?

      Totally agree about the second point. Choice of server-side programming language has no bearing on search results.
  • I don't think php has anything to do with page ranking etc..
  • Umm... Yahoo uses Ruby on Rails.

    There's a lot of bs in this forum.

    • If there's a lot of "BS" why are you posting here?
      Btw, here are some adamantium proof that Yahoo uses PHP.

      PHP Developer Center - Yahoo! Developer Network
      http://developers.slashdot.org/artic.../10/29/2052239

      Watch your mouth next time alright?
    • It is well known that the largest app EVER to use RoR is Twitter. It is part of the reason Twitter has so many problems: because RoR doesn't scale well. They've thought about switching to PHP, which has been proven to scale well (by Yahoo).

      Know what you're talking about before you throw something out of left field.

      Note I'm not saying Yahoo doesn't use RoR. But they don't use it on as large of a scale as PHP.
  • Lol.. you posted a link to the Yahoo developers center that explains how to integrate Yahoo api's with PHP...

    like this one... Ruby Developer Center - Yahoo! Developer Network

    I used to contract for a firm that did a whole lot of development on the core.

    I don't need a google search to find support for what I say. I have actual real live hands on experience.
  • So you still believe Yahoo don't use PHP in anyway at all? Btw if you read back, I said "some apps" uses PHP. So there's no point about "outsmarting" us and bragging about your contract with some firm and generalizing WF as forum of BS. Because the OP asked only about "famous site using PHP" and not your RoR or contract or eleetness in programming.
  • I didn't say that it was better or worse, just that it's what they use for many of their core services.

    I'm partial to C#/.NET, having architected and programmed very large scale web apps (50,000,000 record databases on Oracle and 10,000+ users), on several environments.

    On the app side, by far the easist to scale is .NET because session state handling is automatically handled w/o requiring any separate app server environment (like Tomcat...)

    But I prefer Oracle on Red Hat for my DB environment.... :-)
  • Well that's probably true, though I think a lot of larger companies (like Google, which uses a huge amount of Python), have done a cost/performance analysis and decided it wasn't worth it for the amount of licensing fees that would have to be paid in order to start using .NET everywhere. I think it is a cool technology though, one of the best things Microsoft has ever done.

    No one has mentioned Java, or at least J2EE, which is supposed to scale really well.

    • Showing my age here, but I beta tested the Java development language many moons ago . That's not J2EE or any of the new stuff, just JAVA. Hated it, I was into C++ at the time (hence the reason they thought I'd be good beta tester for Java).

      I really like PHP, it's simple but can achieve some great results. Don't touch anything Microsoft these days.

      I always remember a developer sneering at me, saying that OO stuff will never take off. Not sure if he was right or wrong in the end.

      Cheers, Lee.
