Hi everybody,

Is there any way to use voltDB in a PHP application?

It definitely seems like it have a few advantages over other Databases out there!

+3  A: 

Absolutely.

VoltDB has added a HTTP/JSON client interface to VoltDB which is available now for preview. You can download/build from http://community.voltdb.com/getinvolved#svn

Also, a C++ client library (via same page under "Client Interfaces for Other Programming Languages") exists and will be used to create a native client library for PHP. Join the community at http://community.voltdb.com to be updated.

No problem at all. Since your reputation is high enough (>250) can you please create a tag for VoltDB?

Hi, i couldn't do that - "users with less than 1500 reputation can't create new tags. The tag 'voltdb' is new. Try using an existing tag instead. " :)

The native PHP client library that @tmcallaghan alluded to is now under development.

You can download/build it here:

https://svn.voltdb.com/clientapi/php/trunk/

And here's an example of it in use:
