HELP! if you're using a server module (isapi, apache module), you'll have to take care that some extensions are still not threadsafe. id you're trying to load a nonthredsafe extesion into a multithreaded server, it'll go nuts (crash). most php 4 extensions are threadsafe, but no all (like gd). due to the architecture of cgi the cgi sapi doesn't have to be threadsafe, which means that you can use threadsafe, and not threadsafe extensions with it. what you have to do is to start the apache module without any extension first, and then activate them one by one. in the next release we will deactivate them all by default, and list which are threadsafe and which not. greetings daniel /*-- daniel beulshausen - daniel@php4win.de using php on windows? http://www.php4win.de
