If you read through the archives you'll find it isn't so much that PHP is
the problem per se, but many of the PHP modules. If you use the
multi-threading model of Apache 2 (the raison d'etre for using Apache 2 for
most people) then all the modules have to be thread-safe, and that's a
non-trivial matter for many of the module authors and maintainers. If you
use the pre-fork model of Apache 2 then you essentially have the "regular"
version of Apache.

I've been playing around with PHP5 since before beta 2 and haven't stumbled
on any problems so far when coding using the new features (mainly the new
oop model).

However, I tried running a few PHP applications but they simply did not work
properly in PHP5. It's not a big problem for me since I'm going to build my
new project from scratch and have decided that, even if it isn't released
yet, I'm going for PHP5 due to the new features in it.

One thing that does disturb me a bit though is that very little is to be
found about if the recommendation not to use Apache2 with PHP4 still seems
to apply for PHP5 as well. It's a bit  confusing since Apache2 been stable
for a long time. I am expecting that the issues not recommending it for PHP4
will be solved for PHP5.

Well, we're interested in stability.  I figured since php4 had been out for
a while in "stable" form, it would be more stable than php5.  Is this the
case, or is there a good feeling that php5 will be considered "stable" in
the next couple months?

think... Although, there was thoughts about releasing 5.0 in 2002 as well
IIRC..

Is there some current timeline for php5 though? like approximate release
date, release month, anything?  We're evaluating whether or not we want to
start a new project using PHP5 or PHP4, and I'd really like to make a push
for PHP5.

Try beta3, or rc1-dev from snaps.php.net, if it works there, it'll work in
5.0, currently, it's bugfix only for RC1, and RC1 isn't very far from the
release, so I really don't think anyting would get changed... Also, seems to
me like objects and references are kinda the highest priority in 5.0 (along
with XML support), but that's only my impression..

To view the history.. Check cvs, and read the NEWS file...
