Re: Is PHP 4.0 Thread-Safe?

I posted some comments about the last beta of PHP4 and AOLserver to the PHP-BETA list a while back. AOLserver would stall if I tried anything more than 1 concurrent user. Tried the thread safe stuff (ZTS..) too which helped a bit, but AOLserver always stalled in testing. Enabling the thread stuff seemed to stop error messages coming up in the logs too. I haven't looked at it in a while as time has caught up with me again but maybe this weekend I can try CVS PHP4 and report next week to the list. Donncha.
