What is the PHP policy regaring crashes and fatal errors? Are scripts allowed to cause a crash or fatal error of Apache/PHP itself?
A PHP served request can only crash if there is a bug that makes it crash.
Sure. But what is the answer to my question? Is a (bug in a) script allowed to cause such a crash?
Under Apache pre-fork model only the current process that is serving a PHP request will die when the PHP engine crashes. This is why Apache in the pre-fork model is more robust than multi-threaded servers like IIS.
Or Apache with the threaded MPM.
