Hello, something isn't clear to me: Is php as apache module supposed to work without problems - if compiled as zts - only on apache worker or even on apache prefork? Regards, Oliver

I think if you manage to compile it that way it might work, but I don't really see why you would want to do it - TS build is slower.

I think someone recommended me to compile --with-maintainer-zts, because I was working on some functions within the imap extension. That's the main reason. Regards, Oliver Stanislav Malyshev schrieb:

Writing an extension with maintainer zts enabled is a good way to ensure you remembered to add the needed TSRM stuff. Scott Oliver Block wrote:

Right, that's a good idea to check extension in TS mode. However, I'd not run TS module in prefork beyond testing.

If you want a module loadable under either prefork, or worker, or even perhaps the newer event mpm; you must build zts. Since many OS bundles support multiple MPM's - they are going to build zts. And you are right - wins you nothing (loses you a bit in performance) to run the prefork MPM with zts.

It's not a bit, the performance increase is quite a bit. Seriously, if you distribution is silly enough to give you a TS PHP when you're running apache/prefork, please compile from source! It's likely they also messed up other things. Derick
