[Xitami-Dev] PHP for Xitami

[Paul Reid]

> running PHP as a CGI is kinda a burden on the box.

Neither PHP or a rather ugly VisualBasic app ever gave my P-166 box
any real problem. Sure it works hard but only for a second.

Be sure your script isn't doing more work than it needs to. Embedded
PHP avoids forking a new PHP compiler on every call, but won't help
much if the script is complex or doing a lot of busy-work.

> Is there a way to have PHP embedded like PHP does in apache?

No. Why not just use Apache? The price is the same, the main
features are there (if deeply hidden in that conf file), and more
development has been done on it. My Apache experiment is forgotten
because it just sits there and does its job perfectly. I do like
Xitami but I hit a buggy script that seemed to prefer Apache and it
was trivial to add Apache on the same box as Xitami and RealServer.
