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

[Daniel Morissette]

William,

As Armin wrote, it seems that using PHP as an Apache DSO with the 
pre-fork MPM would be the way to go. I don't remember seeing reports of 
issues with that combination in quite a while (I mean several years, so 
much that we had forgotten about those issues from the old days).
