Re: RE: [PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] For My Information

Lets just say I'm glad you posted that on a Windows list :P I personally find Apache more stable, less mem hogging, and as its what is used on linux machines, I know that my PHP code CAN work on any platform ;) And ... yuo say 'best that money can buy' ... I hope you know the price of Apache? www.apache.org .... Sure, it doesn't have a nice wee GUI, but after 20 mins reading a FAQ sheet you can do anything that IIS can, plus more. BUT, you're entitled to your own opinion, as is everyone :) Siggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Boaz Yahav" <berber@netvision.net.il> To: "'Dan Malcolm'" <dmalcolm@hiwaay.net>; "Tom Mathews" <Tom.MATHEWS@st.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net>; <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, February 03, 2001 11:23 AM Subject: [PHP-WIN] RE: [PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] For My Information > Guys, > > I don't believe that there is any question today that IIS5 on win2K > is the best webserver $$$ can buy. > > Sincerely > > berber > > Visit http://www.weberdev.com Today!!! > To see where PHP might take you tomorrow. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Malcolm [mailto:dmalcolm@hiwaay.net] > Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 2:32 PM > To: Tom Mathews > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net; php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] For My Information > > > Tom, > Thanks.
