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 monitor and administer close to 200 Windows 2000/2003 servers. Some of these boxes have been running out in the field for almost 4 years. Yes, there have been hardware failures and due to failed UPS's - some DC screw-ups (disjoin from the domain, add to a junk forest, disjoin again and rejoin to the real domain).

But, I can't see where Windoze is all that bad. Everything has it's pitfalls. I'm a Linux guy too since I support the free software thing...

Plus, we run all Compaq/HP servers, since I'm in the NOC and I monitor all of our servers, we get the beefy ones. Our main SQL server is a HP DL740 with quad (and HT'd) 3.0's, 4 gb RAM, and a MSA 1000 SAN with RAID 10 and 300gb.

Plus, I get to administer an EMC Symmetrix SAN array with 14 terabytes. Now, THAT is cool... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Anyways, great job Andy for keeping this strange place up and running so these junkies (me included) can come and play...

Later,
Tom
