I had no problems at all with PHP and Apache2. For what I know, it is
widely used, although it may be labeled "experimental" I think it is quite
reliable.
I for one have had problems with apache2/php, initially because of
buggy configuration directives.
While away in June I took my portable and started seriously working on
moving some of my web trees to apache2/php on RH9. I found post-variable
corruption in some of the web pages that was very disturbing. I had
planned on writing up some simpler scripts where I could _reproduce_
these problems and submit them as bugz on my return from vacation.
However patch php-4.2.2-17.2.i386.rpm in early july specifically mentions
corruption fixes:
"This update contains fixes for a number of bugs discovered in the version
of PHP included in Red Hat Linux 8.0 and 9. These bugs include the use of
a PHP script as an ErrorDocument and possible POST body corruption in some
configurations."
So recently I started testing again. On the surface php-4.2.2-17.2.i386.rpm
seems to have solved some of my problems at RH9, but I still can find cases
where this problem occurs. So now I will give Severn a try since it offers
php 4.3.2, and see if this makes a difference.
I have to admit that I am leary of the combination of apache2/php... I don't
think it is as reliable as apache1/php.
