Problems with PHP as Module and as cgi with PROJ

[William Bronsema]

Hi Flavio,

Just as an FYI - I was at a PHP conference last March and I spoke with
several of the developers in person and they highly recommend to NOT use
Apache 2 especially when running PHP as a module.  They indicated that they
focus there attention on making sure that PHP is bullet-proof for 1.3.x.
That is what I understood their position to be concerning Apache 2, but that
might have changed since the release of PHP 5.

Anyway, I don't know if it's an Apache is the cause here, but it might be a
contributor.

Regards,
Bill
