PHP Thread Safe vs. Non Thread Safe

hi,
what is the best option for shared hosting server
PHP Thread Safe or Non Thread Safe ?

Best Regards,
Star Network

If you are going to use ISAPI filter with php on windows, then use the thread safe. If youre going to use fast-cgi then the non thread safe will be faster and better.

OK, Thanks
but what is better, ISAPI or fast-cgi?

No doubt FastCGI is better then ISAPI but currently we only support ISAPI along with HC panel.

You can also use Cgi module (php-cgi.exe ) as well.

ISAPI works better then CGI on IIS.

No doubt FastCGI is better then ISAPI but currently we only support ISAPI along with HC panel.

If you admit that FastCGI is better option to use then why HC don't support it ?

This is already in our to do list and will be supported soon in any coming Build.

Build 9 came and went, yet FastCGI still is not supported it seems!!  There is no option to enable HC to create a Fast-CGI mapping instead of the standard cgi mapping.

You could always use fastcgi.  Just put it in the path for php setup.  We've been using it for a long time now.

Will it be supported in the next build????

FastCGI requires that the handler mapping be created as a FastCGI, with the normal c:\php\php-cgi.exe as the application path.  So far with Hotfix9 there is no way to select between 'FastCGI' Module Map or a CGI Script Map.  So what happens is HC is creating a CGI Script Map for c:\php\php-cgi.exe and we have to manually go into the configuration, remove this mapping, and manually create a new Module Map that uses FastCgiModule for c:\php\php-cgi.exe instead
 

We have FastCGI and it seems to work fine... anything wrong with that? what issues can we run into?
