#29472 [NEW]: About a Webserver

From: sven dot willemen at skynet dot be Operating system: Windows XP SP1 PHP version: 5.0.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: About a Webserver Description: ------------ I am doing some translation for the PHP documentation, while studying. At the same time, while i was translating parts of de "Installation" chapter, i began to wonder... Would't it be great for the PHP-team to introduce their own webserver. While translating, i found out that installing PHP is far from easy, quite divious sometimes. I can imagine what benefit the PHP-team would get with their own bundled webserver. This way not only PHP could possibly get a more stable codebase (remember al those installation-issues -- e.g. linux, unix, solaris, apache 1.x, apache 2.x, omnihttpd, xitami, caudium, openbsd, to name a few). One great webserver from you guys could give the whole community another boost! And i think not only on one specific platform (windows), but on many platforms. Even WinXP Home users would benefit from this... they don't need to download and install a third party webserver, but would be able to download PHP and a webserver in one. I am aware of the fact that there are alot of pre-configured packages, which includes PHP, MySQL and Apache or others, but it just isn't the same... Any other suggestions, tips, opinions? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29472&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29472&r=float
