PHP/MapScript DSO

[Armin Burger]

Timothy,

My experience is that PHP/Mapscript runs well under PHP as DSO when 
Apache is a non-threaded version. So either Apache 1.3, or Apache 2 as 
prefork version, not the threaded MPM (this is recommended anyway in the 
PHP docs, see 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.apache2). 
It seems that on Windows Apache is always threaded, so there I just used 
PHP as CGI.

The special options for Mapserver/Mapscript compilation was to add 
'--with-php=/usr/local/include/php --with-httpd=/usr/sbin/apache2 '.
