This document summarizes a presentation given by Luxi Chidambaran of Oracle on solving the C20K problem of scaling PHP applications. It discusses how the Oracle 11g Database Resident Connection Pool (DRCP) allows PHP applications to connect to the database in a way that supports tens of thousands of concurrent connections using minimal system resources. It provides an overview of DRCP and how the enhanced OCI8 PHP extension connects to leverage DRCP. Performance benchmarks are presented showing significant increases in throughput and reductions in memory usage compared to non-DRCP connections.
