I have a lot of experience coding MQSeries applications in Perl. Sometimes these applications are standalone, othertimes they are executed as cgi in a web-server. But for about the past year or so I have been using PHP more and more for generating dynamic pages. Now I was thinking that with PHP and MQSeries on Linux, I could effectively create a poor man's scalable web site by having a bunch of machines running mysql databases, and put them in a cluster with a few webservers running apache. Using a PHP interface to MQSeries, I could send a SQL query to a clustered queue that exists on all the database servers, my queries would round-robin between them.
There's just one little problem. There is no PHP API for MQSeries. I was thinking about trying to code this myself, but I wanted to make sure of a few things...
1) There are others out there who might actually find use for this
2) Is it even feasible? The Perl API uses XLC as a front-door to the C API for MQSeries. I don't know of such a thing for PHP.
3) Am I going to get better performance than just using the Perl API? Because we all know PHP generates the exact same HTML faster than Perl (I can already feel the angry stares!) but is that any indication that it can talk to a queue manager any faster?
Any thoughts, inputs, advice, words of caution (or encouragement), would be appreciated!

if you are on Windows, another option for getting to MQ from PHP may be to use the COM interface (MQAX).
I have previously used the PHP-COM stuff for other components, but never tried with MQAX.

Brian:
Using Apache:... excuse me for asking a stupid question... Would a java servlet be too slow ??
Thanks

No, in fact it might be faster than PHP because it's compiled rather than interpreted on the fly. I only suggested it because many small-time websites are written in PHP or Perl rather than Java, so having an MQ API would be useful so you don't have to rewrite your site in Java.

SAM, or Simple Asynchronous Messaging, is a project to make accessing
messaging and queueing systems simpler. We have produced an
implementation which allows PHP systems to connect with IBM WebSphere MQ
queue managers, IBM WebSphere Business Integration Brokers over
Real-Time Transport, or with the default messaging provider found in IBM
WebSphere Application Server v6.
Project SAM is currently at version 0.3.0 - this includes publish /
subscribe functionality, along with point-to-point connectivity.
More details on the project, along with links to download the package,
can be found at the website http://project-sam.awardspace.com, or on the
Pecl site at http://pecl.php.net/package/sam.
