Did you do a simple phpinfo(); page and look to see if it's on or not? If it is on you turned it on when you compiled it. ./configure --help you'll see --enable-maintainer-zts Enable thread safety - for code maintainers only!! >From the zend book http://flylib.com/books/en/2.565.1.14/1/ A normal PHP build has thread safety turned off by default and only enables it if the SAPI being built is known to require thread safety, or if thread safety is explicitly turned on by a ./configure switch. Given the speed issues with global lookups and the lack of process isolation you might wonder why anyone would deliberately turn the TSRM layer on when it's not required. For the most part, it's extension and SAPI developers like you're about to become who turn thread safety on in order to ensure that new code will run correctly in all environments.
