OT: PHP question, club related ... Options

[SirAndy]

ok, here's a silly PHP question ...

any given time (with traffic on the BBS) i see between 6 and 15 instances of PHP.EXE in the task manager. they all eat up memory and ressources ...

is there a way to tell PHP to run through the IIS-API ???
that should channel it all through 1 thread, right? same as it does with ASP or CGI ...

does PHP have the ability to run as a IIS extension? and if so, how do i configure it for that?

i'm a computer guy, i work with all of them. whatever you have, put it in front of me and i'll make it work.

do i have personal preferences? sure. but not for one OS in particular. it depends on the intended use of the system.
want a high end gaming workstation? get a PC.
want a graphic/video workstation? get a MAC.
want a tricked out FTP server? get a linux box.

in my view, most of peoples frustration with windows is due to the lack of knowledge.
which is actually true for most of the frustration on *all* operating systems.
the lack is usually with the user, not the machine ...

i have run windows servers for years straight with only 1 or 2 harddrives burn up.
i have run linux servers for years straight with only 1 or 2 harddrives burn up.

what really pisses me off are stupid comments like "i don't know the answer to your question but you really should switch over to linux. it'll solve all your problems" ...

the server is running fine. php works under windows. mysql works under windows. cgi works under windows.
i was looking for a way to optimize the php performance and fiid pointed me in the right direction.
i don't need any of this "my computer is soooo much better than your computer" crap. leave it at home ...


i'm tired,
