RE: [PHP-WIN] Surprises with PHP4/IIS?

I was initially using ISAPI with IIS on win2k and found that it was quite prone to crashing after about 20 or thirty hits to a php page. I then moved to using CGI with IIS and found that it could last for a couple of hundred hits before it crashed (PHP this is) Finally I've moved to using the ISAPI module in Apache and have not had it crash yet (although there haven't been more than about a thousand hits so far). Therefore my empirical evidence suggests that IIS is not that stable using PHP at the moment, I'm not sure who's fault it is, but they don't seem to combine too well. I hope that helps, it would certainly bear some testing.
