Hi Les, while I understand where you're coming from, I don't quite agree with you. A programming language doesn't make security mistakes, the coder does :) What I'm looking for, is which programming language will be best, i.e. fastest. My OS of choice would be CentOS, but even then that won't make a difference either.
I can do most of this in PHP, but I do think PHP is a bit slow for this, being a scripting language, and not a compiled language.
How now, do you figure PHP is all that slow? Since you have a background in PHP why not use it? Maybe your not skinning the cat right? PHP is already used in admin apps and it works. Create a Three Tier Web Application to run on the one admin server. Calls can be made via rpc or xml web services to the clients. May take a while to think it out in your brain but it will work. I do it with .Net.
Hi John,
Well, it's my understanding that compiled languages perform much better than scripting languages for this kind of operating, due to the fact that the script runs on top of the scripting engine, which in turn runs on top of the web server.
I know a lot of control panels run either PERL, C{+/++/#}, Python.
