Installation on Cloud

Home >>Installation of PHP  >>Installation on Cloud


PHP is installed in Cloud by the following two ways

1) Azure App Services
2) Amazon EC2

Azure App Services
PHP is used mostly on Azure App Services (aka Microsoft Azure, Windows Azure, Azure Web Apps).
Azure App Services manages pools of Windows Web Servers to host your web application, as an alternative to managing your own web server on your own Azure Compute VMs or other servers.
PHP is already enabled for your Azure App Services web site automatically. In the Azure Portal, select your web site, and you can choose which version of PHP to use. You may want to choose a newer version than the default.
As such, PHP and extensions will run on Azure App Services just as it will on other Windows servers. Much of the knowledgebase is also portable, so see the Windows Troubleshooting Page too. However, the management interface for Azure App Services is different:
  • Azure portal: create, edit settings and delete web sites. » Azure Portal
  • Kudu Dashboard: [your web site name].azurewebsites.net Then, the Kudu dashboard is » https://[your web site name].scm.azurewebsites.net/. The Dashboard gives you access to some debugging capabilities, file management and site extensions. Site extensions are an Azure mechanism to add extra programs, like PHP preview builds, to your web site.
  • You can not use IIS Manager, Server Manager, or RDP.
There is also a PHP SDK for programmatically using many Azure Services from your PHP code. 
See » Azure SDK for PHP. For more information, see » Azure PHP Developer Center

WinCache
WinCache is enabled by default on Azure App Services and it is recommended that you leave it enabled. If you install your own build of PHP, you should enable WinCache on that too.
Custom PHP Build
You may upload your own PHP build to your D:\Home (C:\ is NOT writable). Then in the Azure Portal, set SCRIPT_PROCESSOR for .php to the absolute path to php-cgi.exe file in your build.

Amazon EC2
PHP installs on the » EC2 cloud platform.

Float

Home  >> Data Types   >> Float Float Floating point numbers (also known as "floats", "doubles", or "real numbers") can be specified using any of the following syntaxes: <?php $a  =  1.234 ;  $b  =  1.2e3 ;  $c  =  7E-10 ; ?> Formally LNUM          [0-9]+ DNUM          ([0-9]*[\.]{LNUM}) | ({LNUM}[\.][0-9]*) EXPONENT_DNUM [+-]?(({LNUM} | {DNUM}) [eE][+-]? {LNUM}) The size of a float is platform-dependent, although a maximum of ~1.8e308 with a precision of roughly 14 decimal digits is a common value (the 64 bit IEEE format). Floating point precision Floating point numbers have limited precision. Although it depends on the system, PHP typically uses the IEEE 754 double precision format, which will give a maximum relative error due to rounding in the order of 1.11e-16. Non elementary arithmetic ...

FastCGI Process Manager

Home  >> Installation of PHP  >>FastCGI Process Manager FastCGI Process Manager: FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is another method of installing PHP with extra features. It is mostly useful for heavy-loaded sites.  The important features are:  advanced process management with graceful stop/start;  ability to start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment, listening on different ports and using different php.ini (replaces safe_mode);  stdout and stderr logging;  emergency restart in case of accidental opcode cache destruction;  accelerated upload support; "slowlog" - logging scripts (not just their names, but their PHP backtraces too, using ptrace and similar things to read remote process' execute_data) that are executed unusually slow; fastcgi_finish_request() - special function to finish request and flush all data while continuing to do something time-consuming (video converting, stats processing etc.); ...

Boolean Type

Home  >> Data Types   >> Boolean The boolean type returns the value either TRUE or FALSE Syntax In order to specify the boolean variable, use the constants TRUE or FALSE. Both are case-insensitive <?php $coderz  =  True ;  // assign the value TRUE to $coderz ?> Typically, the   control structure depends upon the value of boolean operator. Because, it returns either TRUE or FALSE <?php // == is an operator which tests // equality and returns a boolean if ( $name ==  "coderz" ) {     echo  "Coderztoday is the best online tutorial" ; } // this is not necessary... if ( $name ==TRUE) {     echo  "<hr>\n" ; } // ...because this can be used with exactly the...
