The application server model doesn't work that well with PHP. At best performance it integrates fairly tightly with the web server (Apache, etc.). How much you need to think about this depends on the type of application you're planning for. It's quite likely that buzzword compliance won't really get you anything and can be safely ignored. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
