However, I don't think running PHP with worker is terribly advisableunless under controlled conditions. Aside from the oft-noted threadsafety issues in 'some' php extensions, there's also the potentialside effects of PHP crashing. There are multiple known methods forcausing mod_php to crash based on things like URL crafting. In preforkthat's not a really big deal as the parent will just spawn a new childand carry onbut with worker you'll be taking out many requests at the same time. This is all based on hearsay; I've never tried php and worker inproduction, but they seem fine on my development box. -- noodl
