3. Who am I? Maarten Balliauw Antwerp, Belgium www.realdolmen.com Focus on web ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, PHP, Azure, VSTS, … MVP ASP.NET Interested in interoperability PHPExcel, PHPLinq, Windows Azure SDK for PHP, ... http://blog.maartenballiauw.be http://twitter.com/maartenballiauw

4. Agenda Why PHP matters… PHP on Windows PHP on Windows Azure

5. Before we start… Much information! Slides decorated with topic: PHP on Windows PHP on Windows Azure

6. Why PHP matters… Why is Microsoft investing in PHP efforts?

7. Simple reason… Web applications Wordpress Drupal Joomla phpBB MediaWiki SugarCRM Gallery2 Commercial entities Yahoo! Flickr Digg Facebook YouTube Wikipedia  Hard to ignore!

9. PHP on Windows If PHP matters, better make it a first-class citizen…

10. Agenda Microsoft and the PHP Core Other initiatives SDK’s Tooling

11. Microsoft and the PHP Core Before Now

12. http://windows.php.net

13. PHP 5.3 on Windows Is the most significant update to PHP on Windows! All libraries updated to latest versions (in some cases newer versions that used on Linux) Re-write of the build system from scratch Top PHP Windows community programmer working for Microsoft (Pierre Joye) Build with VS 2008 Available in 32 and 64 bit version Created windows.php.net 99% of all POSIX calls changed to native Windows calls

14. By the numbers: Running PHPBench looped 5x Both computers are a HP 8 core (2 procs x Quad core) 16gb ram. Linux (Centos 5.2) vs. Windows Server 2008 x86 NOTE: phpbench onlytests internal PHP engineperformance. It doesnot do IO of any kind.

15. Core is not everything… Other initiatives Web Platform Installer FastCGI on IIS Wincache extension SQL Server driver for PHP SDK’s (a lot!) Tooling

16. Microsoft Web Platform Installer “Yum for Windows”?

17. Easy installation of YOUR environment Easy installer providing Platform installation (IIS, extra modules, configuration, …) Both ASP.NET and PHP Application installation Both ASP.NET and PHP Publish your app through WebPI http://microsoft.com/web

18. Demo Web Platform Installer

19. FastCGI on IIS How and where will my application run?

20. PHP on Windows – History IIS support has been there for a long time Apache runs on Windows as well But… IIS gives best performance on Windows Unfortunately the choice was always between stability and performance…

21. Allow me to explain…

22. And along came improvement!

23. FastCGI

24. Demo FastCGI on IIS

25. IIS execution pipeline Since your PHP app is part of the IIS execution pipeline… …you can use IIS URL rewriting …you can use IIS as a load balancer (ARR) www.vipriva.com …you can use any .NET HttpModule out there ASP.NET membership / authentication Output caching …

26. Demo Application A very simple blog

27. Application description Simple blog engine 1 table: Posts Id (PK) Slug Title Body Author PubDate Caching Pretty URLs Windows Authentication

28. Setting up the SQL server database

29. WinCache extension Making it even faster…

30. Windows Cache Extension (“WinCache”) PHP module for 5.2 and 5.3 IIS specific PHP accelerator So only works in IIS! No code modifications needed in your application PHP functions to obtain information about the cache status http://www.iis.net/download/WinCacheForPhp

31. Cache layers Bytecode cache Caches compiled PHP scripts Script cache Cache script sources in memory to reduce I/O access and UNC file share access Relative file path cache Caches relative file path Session cache Sessions stored in shared memory

32. Demo WinCache extension

33. SQL Server Driver for PHP Data access should be fast as well!

34. SQL Server Driver for PHP PHP extension for Windows So only works on Windows! Reliable, scalable and fast integration with SQL Server for PHP Relies on the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client to communicate with SQL Server.

35. PDO support SQL Server Driver for PHP v2.0 Support for PHP Data Objects (PDO) Better UTF-8 support Example: Drupal 7 on SQL Serverhttp://www.commerceguys.com/about/news/drupal-7-sql-server-preview

36. Here are your options!

37. Using the SQL Server Driver for PHP Connecting $connection = new PDO('sqlsrv:server=.QLEXPRESS;database=blog');

38. Using the SQL Server Driver for PHP Querying class Post { public $Id; // ...} $posts = array(); $query = 'SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY PubDate DESC'; $statement = $connection->query($query); while ( $row = $statement->fetchObject('Post') ) { $posts[] = $row; }

39. Demo SQL Server Driver for PHP

40. SDK’s What else is out there?

41. Microsoft and PHP = LOTS of goodies Some highlights… SQL Server Reporting Services SDK for PHP OData SDK for PHP Windows Azure Tools for Eclipse Windows Azure SDK for PHP AppFabric SDK for PHP Windows Azure Command-Line Tools for PHP Eclipse Tools for Silverlight Information Cards for PHP Internet Explorer Webslices and Accelerators for PHP PHP and Silverlight SQL CRUD Application Wizard for PHP Toolkit for PHP and Bing Maps Overview: http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/

42. SQL Server Reporting Services SDK for PHP SSRS? Reporting tool in SQL Server Very powerful! Various output formats Can be linked to MySQL, PostgreSQL, … API to interoperate with SQL Server Reporting Services List available reports within a PHP applications, Provide custom parameters from a PHP web form, Manage the rendering of the reports within a PHP application http://ssrsphp.codeplex.com

43. OData SDK for PHP OData? Open Data Protocol Unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today Builds on HTTP, AtomPub and JSON RESTful interface Way data is delivered in MS CN “Dallas” API to OData Generate proxy classes to OData feeds CRUD on OData feeds http://odataphp.codeplex.com/

44. OData SDK for PHP /* connect to the OData service */ $svc = new NorthwindEntities(NORTHWIND_SERVICE_URL); /* get the list of Customers in the USA +the list of Orders */ $query = $svc->Customers() ->filter("Country eq 'USA'") ->Expand('Orders'); $customerResponse = $query->Execute(); /* get only CustomerID and CustomerName */ $query = $svc->Customers() ->filter("Country eq 'USA'") ->Select('CustomerID, CustomerName'); $customerResponse = $query->Execute(); /* create a new customer */ $customer = Customers::CreateCustomers('channel9', 'CHAN9'); $proxy->AddToCustomers($customer); /* commit the change on the server */ $proxy->SaveChanges();

100. Tools for connecting to blob storage CloudBerryLab Explorerhttp://www.cloudberrylab.com Azure Storage Explorerhttp://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/ Onlinehttp://myazurestorage.com / ftp://ftp.cloudapp.net Windows Azure tooling for Eclipse

101. Blobs Sample $blobStorage= new Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_Blob(); // Create if (!$blobStorage->containerExists($containerName)) { $blobStorage->createContainer($containerName); $blobStorage->setContainerAcl($containerName, Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_Blob::ACL_PUBLIC); } // Store $blob = $blobStorage->putBlob($containerName, $blobName, $localFilename, $metadata); /* @var $blob Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_BlobInstance */

102. Blobs Sample Cont… // Copy $result = $blobStorage->copyBlob( $containerName, $blobName, $containerName, $blob2Name); // Retrieve $tempStore= azure_getlocalresourcepath('tempstore'); $tempPath= $tempStore. '' . $imageId; $blobStorage->getBlob($containerName, $blobName, $tempPath); // Delete $result = $blobStorage->deleteBlob($containerName, $blobName); $result = $blobStorage->deleteContainer($containerName); http://phpazurecontrib.codeplex.com

103. Blob Stream Wrapper $blobStorage= new Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_Blob(); // Register: $blobStorage->registerStreamWrapper(); // registers azure:// // or $blobStorage->registerStreamWrapper('blob://'); // use blob:// // Use $fp= fopen('azure://mycontainer/myfile.txt', 'r'); // ... fclose($fp);

104. Windows Azure Drive (a.k.a. Xdrive) Virtual NTFS volume that can be mounted .vhd format Use existing NTFS API’s Easier migration Stored on blob storage provides quick mount/unmount in other VM http://phpazurecontrib.codeplex.com

105. Queue Workflow Concepts Windows Azure Queue Provides Guarantee delivery (two-step consumption) Worker Dequeues Message and mark it as Invisible Worker Deletes Message when finished processing it If Worker role crashes, message becomes visible for another Worker to process Doesn’t guarantee “only once” delivery Doesn’t guarantee ordering Best effort FIFO Worker Role Web Role Input Queue (Work Items) Worker Role Azure Queue Web Role Worker Role Web Role Worker Role

106. Azure Queues RemoveMessage GetMessage (Timeout) Worker Role PutMessage Queue Msg 1 Msg 2 Msg 2 Msg 1 Web Role Worker Role Worker Role Msg 3 Msg 4 Msg 2

107. Loosely Coupled Work with Queues Worker-Queue Model Load work in a queue Many workers consume the queue Input Queue (Work Items) Azure Queue Worker Role Web Role Worker Role Web Role Worker Role Web Role Worker Role

108. Queues $queueClient= new Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_Queue(); // Create $result = $queueClient->createQueue('imageQueue'); // Delete $queueClient->deleteQueue('imageQueue'); // Add message $queueClient->putMessage('imageQueue', $message, $ttl); // Retrieve Messages $messages = $queueClient->getMessages('imageQueue', 10); foreach($messages as $message) { // Do work here... $queueClient->deleteMessage('imageQueue', $message); }

109. Windows Azure Data Storage – Tables (Terms Part 1) Table Contains a set of entities. Entity (Row) Basic data items stored in a table. Property (Column) Single value in an entity. RowKey Unique ID of the entity within a partition Timestamp Time it was created

110. Windows Azure Data Storage – Tables (Terms Part 2) Partition Entities in a table with the same partition key PartitionKey Segments entities in to partitions to automatically distribute the table’s entities over many storage nodes. Sort Order There is a single index provided, where all entities in a table are sorted by PartitionKey and then RowKey

111. Key Example – Blog Posts Partition 1 Partition 2 Getting all of dunnry’s blog posts is fast Single partition Getting all posts after 2008-03-27 is slow Traverse all partitions

112. Table Sample $tableStorage= new Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_Table( 'table.core.windows.net', 'myaccount', 'myauthkey'); // Create $result = $tableStorage->createTable($tableName); // List $result = $tableStorage->listTables(); foreach($result as $table) { echo 'Table name is: ' . $table->Name . ""; } // Delete $tableStorage->deleteTable($tableName);

113. Tables with Entities // Structured entity class ImageEntityextends Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_TableEntity { /** * @azure filename */ public $filename; /** * @azure size Edm.Int64 */ public $size; } // Unstructured entity // Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_DynamicTableEntity

114. Tables with Entities Cont… // Insert $image = new ImageEntity($partitionKey, $rowKey); $image->filename = $_FILES['imageUpload']['name']; $image->size = $_FILES['imageUpload']['size']; $image = $tableStorageClient->insertEntity($tableName, $image); // Retrieve $image = $tableStorage->retrieveEntityById($tableName, $partitionKey, $rowKey, 'ImageEntity'); // Update $image->filename = 'newname.jpg'; $result = $tableStorage->updateEntity($tableName, $image); // Delete $result = $tableStorage->deleteEntity($tableName, $image);

115. Table Queries // Filter condition $select = "filesizegt 1024 and PartitionKeyeq '$partitionKey'"; // Or fluent interface $select = $tableStorage->select()->from($tableName) ->where('filesizegt 1024') ->andWhere('PartitionKeyeq ?', $partitionKey); // Run query $images = $tableStorage->storageClient->retrieveEntities( 'testtable', $select, 'ImageEntity' ); foreach($images as $image) { echo 'Name: ' . $image->filename . ""; }

116. Batching Operations // Start batch $batch = $tableStorage->startBatch(); // Insert multiple $images = generateEntities(); foreach($images as $image) { $tableStorage->insertEntity($tableName, $image); } // Commit $batch->commit();

117. Table session handler $sessionHandler = new Microsoft_WindowsAzure_SessionHandler($tableStorage); $sessionHandler->register(); session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION['start'])) { $_SESSION['start'] = time(); }

118. SQL Azure A relational database for the cloud

119. SQL Azure and Windows Azure Table Comparison SQL Azure Tables Fully structured Strongly typed Relational(RDBMS) Highly scalable Windows Azure Tables Semi-structured Loosely typed Non-Relational(Not RDBMS) Massively scalable

120. SQL Azure Features Supported Tables, Indexes, Views Stored Procedures Triggers Constraints Table Variables Temp Tables (#Name) Not supported Physical Server Access Catalog DDL Common Language Runtime Service Broker Reporting Services Analysis Services Distributed Transactions and Queries
