Hi Rosen,
It doesn't hurt to use google you know.
[Q:]
Is there going to be a version of PHP 4.x which is declared stable for use
with Apache 2.x or, is this feature going to be reserved for PHP5?
[A:]
The development of the Apache 2 module is completely disconnected from the
PHP 5 efforts. I think that these efforts have slowed down to a halt, mostly
because of lack of interest in the PHP development community, mostly because
the only reliable way of using PHP and Apache 2 together is using the
prefork MPM, which is effectively very similar to Apache 1. Good Apache 2
connectivity is going to come at some point, but I'm not exactly sure when
it would be.
Basically PHP isn't threadsafe, and Apache2 uses threads.
I hope that helps.
