[PHP] equivalent of perl's ithread

2006-03-11 Thread Khai 
As of perl 5.6, perl has a concept of interpreter thread (called 
ithread).  Basically, any variable that you want to be shared across 
threads, you have to explicitly shared it.  This apply not only to 
regular variables, but also apply to super global variables such as $_, 
making it easy to write threadsafe modules in perl.


Does PHP has an equivalent concept?  If I am developing php pages that 
are to be run under apache2 threaded worker mpm, can I use $_SERVER 
variable ?


Thanks
Khai

Check the archives for thread safety and running PHP under Apache 2. The 
URL is:

My information may be out of date, but the last I read was that PHP itself 
was OK, but some modules were not thread-safe.
