anything you can write in PHP you can write better and faster in C anyway..

running concurrent sessions from multiple web browsers.

Horses for courses.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
