RE: [PHP] PHP4 - ISAPI or CGI?

Excellent suggestion (Thomas and Frank). I set up both the ISAPI and CGI versions using different extensions. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for helping out a newbie, guys. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Frank M.

Hi Jeff, I would use the ISAPI version to run plain scripts without extentions (not all modules are thread safe yet) and if you plan to use extentions I would use the CGI version for that, or at least spend som time testing for stabillity. You could also install both and use different directorire for ISAPI and CGI version, or have .php use ISAPI and .php4 use CGI. The last solution allows you to switch engine just from moving or renaming the script. That is what I do in my development environment. - Frank >I'm getting ready to install PHP4 on a Windows NT box, which will be my >first time ever installing PHP.
