Nope. There's the old mod_fastcgi and the more up-to-date mod_fcgid out there. Why does the world need another? If you have a specific need that the above don't meet, perhaps "FastCGI-like" isn't the best way to describe it. > I know there's for example AJP but that appears to be aimed > specifically at Java. AJP is part of the proxy framework. It's written by the java (tomcat) folks for their own use, but if you have a non-java AJP server, there's nothing to stop you using it for that. > An official module would be handy so that PHP can be run in separate > processes without requiring the http server itself to use separate > processes. I can't see how that's of much use except in the case of a server which uses a little PHP but mostly runs some application that benefits substantially from a threaded MPM. What would you need that isn't provided for by running PHP as CGI, under fastcgi, or on a separate server instance running with prefork and proxied by the primary server? BTW, this would be more appropriate to the users@ list. -- Nick Kew
