Yves: I am not sure of the exact technical issues that affect it, but when I was forced to use it in a production environment (does anyone actually admit to CHOOSING to use it? anyway....) I received a lot of errors on includes, intermittently. This was most noticable when using phpmyadmin - but it was noticed throughout the application. Errors including a file, then you refresh and there are no errors.
In general the webserver was very unstable, prone to hanging processes and needing the webserver stopped and restarted. In the beginning it was no big deal - once twice a week, but in the last 3 weeks it has been 5-6 times a day. We just switched to Apache 1.3.2 (using PHP 4.3.4 on both machines.) and we have had 0 problems across the board in 3 days of operation now. So there you go - if you are OK with instability then go for it - if not, choose Apache 1.3.x PS. Anyone out there know/work with PLESK? 6.0 comes with Apache 2.0 and PHP 4.3.something - I want to 'downgrade' it to apache 1.3 - but *shrug* no idea. If there is anyone out there that has done It successfully, msg me offline to chat. WHY OH WHY do these companies not work WITH the php community? If only they had asked.... Itools is the same way (server manager for Mac OSX - for the love of GOD DO NOT EVER USE IT!!!!! That is what was forced upon us and caused the above problems - you could not use it unless you used Apache 2, and they 'said' that there are no 'instabilities' with PHP - either they lied or just have a terrible QC division!!!)
