You go to:

http://www.php.net/downloads.php

And download "PHP 4.0.6 zip package" the url is:

http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.0.6-Win32.zip&source_
site=www.php.net

Inside it you will find a file called "install.txt" that say:

[...]
PHP 4 for Windows comes in two flavours - a CGI executable (php.exe),
 and several SAPI modules (for exapmle php4isapi.dll). The latter form
 is new to PHP 4, and provides significantly improved performance and
 some new functionality. However, please note that the SAPI modules
 are *NOT* yet considered to be production quality.
 In particular, with the ISAPI module, you are likely to encounter serious
 reliability problems especially on platforms older than W2K - you may
 witness a lot of server 500 errors and suffer from other server modules
 such as ASP also failing. You have been warned!

 The reason for this is that the PHP SAPI modules are using the
 thread-safe version of the PHP code, which is new to PHP 4, and has
 not yet been tested and pounded enough to be considered completely
 stable, and there are actually a few known bugs. On the other hand,
 some people have reported very good results with the SAPI modules,
 and there a few reports of problems with the Apache module version.
 In short - your mileage may vary;  If you need
 absolute stability, trade the performance of the SAPI modules
 with the stability of the CGI executable.
[...]

Now, I am not an english native speaker, so I maybe I am not understaning
too well, but I definitely get the feeling the ISAPI module is not stable.

Again, I am not an english native speaker so, if you would like to keep
discussing please translate "YMMV" and "TMMV"

In the meantime

Cari saluti :-)
