I've heard of FastCGI, but never used it before. If I want to get the application running ASAP without FastCGI (please don't argue), what would be the effect of using the thread-safe VC6 build of 5.2.13? Just a decrease in performance? >There are no difference between www.php.net and windows.php.net >binaries. PHP 5.3 and later will be available only via windows.php.net >(easier to add more versions, document, etc.). Yes, less confusing that way. ;) Thanks again, Todd
