In which real situations have you seen C++ usage for web applications wth PHP?

I've looked throught the forum, I've asked uncle Google and I know that:
- PHP extensions can be written in C/C++
- there is a great amount of C/C++ libraries you can use in PHP projects
- C/C++ has a great efficiency (if you use if well)
- you can process a great amount of data with C/C++, write crawlers
- there is even FastCGI, Wt, CppCMS, etc...

But what's more? Maybe some specific server-side tasks? Can you list them?

I'm used to write in PHP but at University I have a long C++ course. Learning only for passing would be a shame.

I'll be grateful for help.

C++ is one of the most powerful programming languages, hence it always worthy learning it (it is rather complex, though). In web related development, C++ could be used to develop high performance server side layers (or high perfomance client side applications, i.e. browsers :-) ), choosing it to extend PHP is up to you (to your needs).
