Sure it can handle millions of requests a week.

So 1week=7days=168hours=10080minutes=604800seconds

For 1 million requests/week= 1.65Req/sec

For 5 million requests/week= 8.26Req/sec

For 10 million requests/week= 16.53Req/sec

For this kind of traffic there's nothing to worry about. I'm not an expert so someone with more experience can say if this numbers are ok.

Just don't forget to design for peak, not average (although this isn't PHP-specific).

Yes, you're right, peak is very important.
