Hi,
Okay I am not going to argue. The other way of hosting PHP is using the ISAPI
DLL. Disadvantages are apart from the ones already mentioned:
1. ISAPI way of hosting PHP is deprecated in PHP5.3 and so you will not be able
to leverage all the good features introduced in PHP 5.3. Details at
http://www.confoo.ca/uploads/slides/php-5-3-awesome.zip.
2. ISAPI way of running PHP on IIS is not supported by Microsoft. We support
only IIS FastCGI and using IIS FastCGI will give you Microsoft Support as well
as dedicated team who are committed to make PHP running on IIS a great
experience.
3. We have developed WINCACHE which is a PHP accelerator (a major boost to PHP
performance) and that doesn't work on ISAPI. Details at
http://pecl.php.net/package/WinCache.
Thanks,
Don.

I've heard of FastCGI, but never used it before. If I want to get the
application running ASAP without FastCGI (please don't argue), what would be
the effect of using the thread-safe VC6 build of 5.2.13? Just a decrease in
performance?

Yes, less confusing that way. ;)
Thanks again,
Todd

PHP TS is slightly slower than PHP NTS but not in a significant
manner. However the stability of the ISAPI may affect your sites much
more than the TS vs NTS delta. Many crashes have worst side effects
than slowdowns.

Hi,
Where can wincache.dll be downloaded?
Any progress on the 1.5 year project to restore windows pecl?
