AWS PHP Script with Caching?

[intelliot]

Hi,

I'm looking for a clean, well-written PHP script that uses AWS and features caching (so it responds to requests fast and still works if Amazon is down).

I'm already looking at the ThinkBling one. Do any others exist?

Thanks! :)

Indeed. Look here (http://www.websitepublisher.net/article/aws-php/). Dan's tutorial is great and includes caching.

It looks like more of a tutorial without actual implementation. Caching is handled by other PHP caching scripts.

Great tutorial from Mark :)

It looks like more of a tutorial without actual implementation. Caching is handled by other PHP caching scripts.

Might want to read more then, the actual files are available for download at the end, and the caching is handled by Pear's Cache Lite. No need to reinvent the wheel when someone has already built an awesome cache module.

It should only take you about 30 minutes to get a complete aws site up with the info provided by Dan, not only that, you'll have more control over how things work.

Excellent, thanks! Now I'm kind of split between whether I should add-on to Dan's or ThinkBling's. but I'll try both and see where they take me :)

Yeah, I looked at ThinkBlings and it really looks like a pretty good script. For me it came down to wanting to learn more about how the AWS system worked so I chose Dan's tutorial and modified it some for my own needs. Think's script is certainly a bit more "ready" to go. I haven't used Think's script before, so if you use it post how it goes.

I gotta say AWS is the coolest thing since sliced bread. I hacked it up for my site and am very pleased with it. Just going through the reading on how to make it CACHE the data using Lite.php.

Good job guys... im a fan.
