PHP/Mapscript, apache2, mod_php - What is the status?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi all,

I want to update my mental knowledge based and I am wondering where we 
stand with PHP/Mapscript working with mod_php and Apache 1.3 or Apache 2.

I know there have been thread-safety issues and I have been a strong 
advocate of using PHP-CGI with mapscript. Is this still the requirement?

How about running Perl/Mapscript with mod_perl?

Thanks for the update,
