What specifically makes you think or feel this > way? It's a while back when I tried to run PHP in AOLserver, but the following contributes to it: - Instability. At that time PHP crashed AOLserver easily. - Few people in the AOLserver community use PHP. It says a lot that few people know for sure if it works. - The AOLserver support code in PHP did look very primitive. I didn't saw any code calling AOLserver APIs to get access to http headers etc., which meant a lot of functionality would not be present in PHP. - Apache is the "supported" webserver for PHP. - Easy to install. It's much easier to install Apache+PHP from my Linux CD than the process of downloading, configuring, install all headers it needs and compiling it to get PHP compiled for AOLserver. And why not use PHP on Apache? All that's needed is an extra IP-address and Apache and AOLserver and share their server like brothers, both doing what the're good at. > > This is an issue the project would then need to focus on. > > Yes, once we can identify why people might feel or think the way you do, > we can identify ways to address those reasons.
