There are problems all around. The two main problems I see in getting full stable support for PHP under Apache2 are: 1) Apache2 filters and flex/bison input streams (via the sapi interface) are not playing nice and will take some tweaking to get to play nice. a) Specifically, there are problems with large input bodies [IIRC] at the moment. 2) Any 3rd party library that is linked with PHP and/or Apache2 must be threadsafe (if Apache2 is configured to run multithreaded). -aaron
