Re: [PHP4BETA] Performance question

I have ColdFusion on NT and PHP3 on Digital Unix (an Alpha). Sorry, but I don't know the specifics about the hardware configurations. However, the benchmarks on the Zend website were quite helpful. I am looking forward to the release of php version 4! Is the beta 4 release fairly stable at this point? Is it as easy to build from source as php3, with a configure script, compatible as a built-in module of apache 1.3.6, etc.? rasmus@php.net wrote: > > > Hi! I am new to this list and have a question.
