I have posted here previously some moanings (sorry) about PHP, persistent database connections and multithreaded webservers... this is where PHP really makes the webservers scream... sorry but I'm not going to stop moaning :-) some examples: multithreaded Apache (latest 1.3.x versions at least, don't know about 2.0.x) does not apply because it spawns threads instead processes but that's all, new PHP global structures are allocated per thread, so great deal !. don't even think of IIS-ISAPI, some more semaphores are needed before we can pull several database-driven scripts at the same time without crashing... and so on... more... 7/9/01 9:31:47 PM, Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> wrote: >Uhm, being the guy that made PHP thread safe and implemented the first >multithreaded SAPI, I'd say I do too.

We are just willing to help! Isn't those technical issues much more important? Come on! Thanks for reading, F.J. Ortiz
