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

ID: 49368 Comment by: chimel31 at live dot fr Reported By: alvaro at demogracia dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Please document ASAP what "thread safe" and "non thread safe" means on the Windows download page, I have no clue which package I should choose. Anything with the word "safe" in it surely should have top priority for bug resolution, but this easy to solve bug is not moving!

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49368&edit=1
