Thanks for the suggestions. I'll read on about it and tell you what I
came up with, so if someone else want's to do something similar they
can base it off of what I built.
Here are some replies to what you guys asked
I don't know if I would go open source on this.
I can use c code in Objective-C so yeah I can base it off of Lighttpd
or Nginx

well now ill have to go scope out nginx :D
anyways, major diff between cgi & libphp should be performance,
wherein cgi
should be like waaay slower. but supposedly fastCGI is pretty
solid. peep
this thread from a little while back,
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/PHP/comp.lang.php/2007-01/msg00120.html
and it looks like lighttpd supports fastCGI+php, so again, prob a
good
source for free working code examples ;D
you can look at nginx or lighttpd for samples of fastcgi.
i think there are some very minor implementation details where one
might be better than another, etc.
fastcgi is good because it does not tie up the webserver itself with a
PHP engine that leaks some memory, but dispatches the request to a
separate entity and allows you to scale them separately.
a webserver like nginx can do much more work even on a single box -
wordpress.com had it pushing 8000 reqs/s of real world load balancing
traffic - and then you can focus on giving fastcgi the resources it
needs, be it more engines on the same box or splitting it apart and
creating a pool of fastcgi engines on N servers...
i'd also recommend php-fpm. it makes configuring php for fastcgi
elegant, adds in multiple options and will soon adaptively spawn the
amount of engines like apache does with webserver
threads/processes/whatever as needed...
