New Post: Phalanger 2.0 cca 5x slower than PHP 5 (arithmetic op.)

petercerno — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:04:05 GMT

Hi,

I have compared the running time of the following code (for computing prime numbers) on Phalanger 2.0 (December 2008) and on WampServer 2.0i (on Windows Vista 64bit). The result was: Phalanger was cca 5 times slower than PHP.

$start = time();

$n = 50000;
$a = array();
$a[] = 2;

$i = 3;
while ($i < $n)
{
	$prime = true;
	foreach ($a as $j)
	{
		if ($i % $j == 0)
		{
			$prime = false;
			break;
		}
	}
	if ($prime) $a[] = $i;
	$i = $i + 2;
}

echo "Total time: " . (time() - $start);

I have also tried some other simple problems and arithmetic operations. The result was the same or worse.

On the other hand, operations like echo, ... run faster.

Why is that? Have you encountered similar problems?

I had the access denied issue. What you need to do is give access to teh Phalanger install directory to whatever identity your app is running under. I'm on Windows 7 so it was IUSR and IIS_IUSRS.

That fixed the access denied issue.

New Post: Phalanger 2.0 (December 2008) on Vista 64bit, IIS 7

petercerno — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:24:12 GMT

I have encountered several problems using Phalanger 2.0 on Windows Vista 64bit, IIS 7.

After installing IIS 7 (with all features) I enabled the 32-bit mode:

cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

and then tried:

%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Problem 1: I got the the message: "The error indicates that IIS is not installed on the machine. Please install IIS before using this tool." But I had installed the IIS before.

Then I set the status of ASP.NET version 2.0.50727 (32-bit) to Allowed in the Web service extension list ( = ISAPI and CGI restrictions )

Then I installed Phalanger 2.0 (December 2008) and configured samples in IIS Manager (by following the instructions from: http://www.php-compiler.net/doku.php?id=phalanger-on-vista)

Problem 2: The root machine.config file of IIS is set to: c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config instead of c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config . So I had to manually edit the 64bit machine.config in order to enable Phalanger.

After this I was able to run all samples provided with Phalanger (Extensions, SimpleScripts, Tests). I would like to ask if there is some other more cleaner solution to setting the Phalanger for Windows Vista 64bit, IIS 7?

Actually I just found the solution in this thread http://phalanger.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=1345&ANCHOR

See the post by ladaprosek and the need to copy App.config to the target directory.

Hi,

I have a similar need, where I'd like to use curl in a .NET library. I set up my App.config as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <phpNet>
    <classLibrary>
      <add assembly="php_curl.mng, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4ef6ed87c53048a3" section="curl" />
    </classLibrary>
  </phpNet>
</configuration>

and am trying trying to call curl_init() in C#:

PHP.Library.Curl.curl_init();

The code compiles with no errors but an exception gets fired:

PHP.Core.PhpException: Call to undefined external function 'curl_init', extension 'php_curl' - check configuration.

What am I missing?

Thank you,

Eric.

P.S. I can run the Zlib sample as well a other samples okay, the problem seems to specifically come from php_curl.mng.dll.

I also have VB PWS installed on VS2005 standard and it runs on the same W2K3 server without any problem.

I think the getrandomalbumID function on PhotoManager.php has a miss spell, but I'm VB not PHP.

Does any body have been experienced this issue also?

Thanks for your help.

New Post: Unicode problems

draxtor — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:12:32 GMT

Hi all,

I have problems with displaying UTF-8 from mysql database. I'm using phalanger 2.0.4 Beta (only one that worked with mysql in legacy mode) and Visual Studio 2008.

All php files are Unicode without Signature.

I tried with and without: mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");

all I get is a lot of ÐŸÐ¾ÑÑ‚Ð°Ð²Ð¸Ñ‚Ðµ Ð¿Ð¸Ñ‚Ð°ÑšÐµ

instead of Cyrillic characters. It behaves same with MySQL and html that I wrote manually.

When I set my page to Unicode with signature then non MySQL code renders properly but MySQL still displays funny characters.

For connection I use: <add assembly="php_mysql.mng, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4ef6ed87c53048a3" section="mysql-native" />

I set globalization too
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />

In Apache it all works great, when I connect with C# through MySQL.Data.Client it is all good.

So I assume it is a Phalanger problem.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

grigorey — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:32:03 GMT

hi guys, I have looked at portability and you have to have "phpc.exe,PhpNetCore.dll, PhpNetCore.IL.dll" in your BIN directory, for compiling on-the-fly or run the app, or in the same directory as your app. I also had to modify the source code for assembly loading, since compiler and php runtime uses GAC rather then specified path. I have to see where this modification were, sicne this was long time since I looked at this code.

VPiattelli — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:18:13 GMT

Hmmm...Sounds like you got all the same ones I did. (I just did a recursive search for *.dll from the Phalanger root folder).

And yes, an executable should find any DLLs that are co-located.

Not sure what your problem is.

New Post: Portable Windows Form Application

Faeroth — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:08:38 GMT

I tried what you told but it did not work out.

I took in the folder:

1) Every dll from the /Bin directory.
2) Every dll from the /Dynamic directory.
3) Every dll from the /Extension directory.
4) Every dll from the /Wrappers directory.
5) Exported .NET resources as dlls from Visual Studio (System.Whatever).
6) My executable .exe file.

Makes a total amount of 140 dlls.

But still, it does not work.

Do I have to tell the executable file somehow where the dlls are?

I've found that you can copy all the Phalanger DLLs to your application directory and get it to work without actually using the Phalanger installer. But Phalanger includes 132 DLLs, so it will expand your application footprint significantly.

Let me know if you find something better.

Faeroth — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:00:39 GMT

Yeah, I will.

I am talking with some Developers, but I did not find any solution yet; they only had some ideas which did not work out though...

I sent Grigorey a private message to see what his resolution was. This would have implications for the "Portable Windows Form Application" thread above.

Seems pretty quiet on this discussion board recently, so I don't think we'll see much assistance.

I can confirm the same issue as you. Phalanger-compiled DLLs work fine on my computer, but do not work on other machines unless Phalanger is installed there too.

Please keep me in the loop if you learn anything on this front.

New Post: PHP Constructor Not Found By Assembly.CreateInstance

VPiattelli — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:18:36 GMT

I have had some luck using

objPlugin = objDLL.GetType(Plugin.ClassName).GetConstructors()(0).Invoke(New Object(1) {Nothing, Nothing})

I've still got other issues, but the above workaround is tolerable for now.

New Post: PHP Constructor Not Found By Assembly.CreateInstance

VPiattelli — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:40:52 GMT

Hello All,

I am working on an application where plug-ins can be developed in PHP using Phalanger and then loaded and executed in a .NET environment using System.Reflection. Unfortunately, when I try to create an instance of the PHP-developed plug-in using Assembly.CreateInstance I receive a "Constructor on type ... not found" exception thrown from the CreateInstance call. This seems strange because as far as I can tell, the constructor exists. Given the screenshot below, does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.

Hello,

first of all, I would like to thank you a lot for your awesome project. Using PHP to create normal programs is awesome, fast and beautiful!
Although I still have problems with making my applications portable.
Anyone who did not install Phalanger can not start any of the programs I compiled with Phalanger, because 'The programm detected an error and needed to be closed'. Only for me, it is working fine.

I have already looked through the documentation and found nothing about it...

How can I make the applications 100% portable for anyone?

Thank you a lot in advance.

sirmak — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:30:10 GMT

I think this project have to be alive, it'll be so cool to integrate with asp.net mvc. PHP is the most widely used language on the web and many web designers knows a bit. So, you can use web designers or Web UI coders (that knows some php) for UI (asp.net mvc views) and everything else on c#/vb.net; a perfect combination. They can use your first class web ui controls, functions, models, DAL (with a .net orm), WCF, everything that written in c#, it's great I think.

There have be some activity from Jadu or Thomas P., and others. Project owner have to assign some commiters,...

Hi,

Is there anyone using this project in production ?

Is there anybody using it with Asp.net MVC ?

And anybody there using it on mono ?
