Hello PHP.NET WebMaster, My name is Eric Woersching and I'm a product manager at Microsoft working on Web platform technologies. The IIS Product Group has a new release of FastCGI for IIS6 coming out today. This release is a big part of efforts to provide more reliable and scalable hosting for PHP on Windows Server. The release is the last beta release before FastCGI for IIS6 is officially shipped at the end of the year. The release is accompanied by a Go Live license which gives people full rights to deploy and use the technology in a production environment. More information and the download can be found at http://www.iis.net/php. If this is pertinent and appropriate information for the PHP.NET news feed, I was wondering if you could post something around it on Monday (9/24). I can also post to the PHP.NET forums, but I was really hoping this would make the home page news.

I don't think posting news about a new release of a webserver is appropriate for php.net, no matter how good PHP support that webserver has. If we were to post this all the other webservers would probably want their newest release posted too... Sorry -Hannes

And on a side note, it would be most appreciated if your team would look over the current IIS documentation and update it. All information and advice is welcome! Both for the current information and also any IIS 6 specifics. Here: http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php Regards, Philip
