#49368 [NEW]: Windows download page lacks information about thread safety

From: alvaro at demogracia dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: Windows download page lacks information about thread safety Description: ------------ The new "PHP For Windows" download page offers "Thread Safe" and "Non Thread Safe" binaries but it doesn't provide any information to make a choice. Expected result: ---------------- Thread safety is a technical term that's likely to be unknown by most PHP developers. There should be a brief explanation about its meaning and consequences so the user is able to download the appropriate binary. Actual result: -------------- The left column contains a detailed explanation about VC6 vs VC9 versions but there's no mention to thread safety. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49368&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49368&r=mysqlcfg
