PHP frameworks with problems

[joanhey]

PHP/hhvm is broken. Now it's disabled from tests.

Phpixie no way to configure persistent connections.

CakePHP fail the fortunes test after update the version.

Codeigniter has disabled persistent connections (memory leak #4493, #4492) use mysqli by default.

I feel like hhvm has been broken for a long time, I'm definitely ok with removing that. Really, if there are any of these that you don't feel like tackling, feel free to remove and someone can add them back correctly. Too much wasted time in failed tests.

In last Travis run:

• php-ngx-async Update test
• php-pgsql-raw Update test
• symfony Update test

I would like to leave the suggestion to update the test version of Codeigniter, which according to https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/tree/master/frameworks/PHP/codeigniter is 2.1.3 , which is very outdated, being the latest stable 3.1.11, and being v4 current in rc.3 (specifically intended for use with PHP7). I'm curious if this would have an impact on lowering the high error rate.

The bench use Codeigniter 3.1.10
https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/master/frameworks/PHP/codeigniter/composer.json

But the readme need the changes.

The high error rate it's because don't use persistent db connections, because when use it have a memory leak. #4493 #4492

[joanhey]

Updated to codeigniter 3.1.11
and the readme.
And trying again the persistent db connections.

We are now with PHP8
