Last I looked, PHP throws in quite a kitchen-sink, including components like old libraries (like libgif, libjpeg) written back in the 1980s for commandline and desktop programs. Far from thread-safe. It also did some Bad Things like global customisation of libraries like libxml2, so that another application might unintentionally get PHP's substitute handlers leading usually to segfault and potentially worse. Though that is very out-of-date. Hence, always best to use it in its own fastcgi environment where it won't mess with anything else in the server. -- Nick Kew
