[mapserver-users] PHP-Mapscript and PHP Apache DSO - any progress?

I cannot say anything for Mac OS in this respect. But at least for Linux 
running Apache in the classical pre-fork MPM I did not experience 
problems with PHP-MapScript running as an Apache DSO. Also some stress 
tests with benchmarking using multiple WMS requests with on MapScript 
OWS as server backend did not cause problems.

I sometimes noticed some irregular, strange, and difficult to reproduce 
problems with MS 6.0 and PHP Mapscript (Apache or CGI segfaults), but 
that was independent of PHP with Apache DSO or as CGI, and this never 
ever happened with MS 5.x.
