Processing One Billion Rows in PHP
The 1brc is "a fun exploration of how quickly 1B rows from a text file can be aggregated with Java", but let's face it, we should be able to do this in PHP too, right? Let's see how fast we can actually aggregate 1 billion rows in PHP and learn about optimising the performance of PHP software along the way.

He started writing software on an IBM PS/2 30 286 in GW-BASIC back in 1993, throughout the 90s he learned HTML, JavaScript, Perl, C, and a bit of Assembler. It was September 2000 when he was introduced to PHP and he thought nobody would ever need it, but boy he was wrong.
