What I think is useful information to people who want PHP+Apache-2.0
is:
a) is PHP not production ready with Apache 2.0 because it was not high
enough priority for PHP to be tested?
or
b) is PHP not production ready with Apache 2.0 because Apache 2.0 must
be fixed before such a thing is even possible?
I see more comments implying b) than a). As such, it seems that
anybody that wants to hack PHP to work better with 2.0 is wasting
their time.
I'm still catching up on email, so apologies if someone has already
replied to this...
There are two basic problems in getting PHP to work with Apache 2:
1) PHP wants to pull data (both POST bodies and php scripts);
but Apache 2 output filters want to push data. Buffering the
entire output stream is not feasible.
2) PHP depends on many third party libraries, many of which are
neither reentrant nor threadsafe.
