Try nginx (http://nginx.net/), very light, has a Windows binary
distribution and can be configured easily for PHP.
You can also find some version of Lighttpd compiled for Windows and
skip the compilation troubles, and you can use this:
http://sites.google.com/site/lightytray/ to control the webserver.
Both of them are lighter than Apache.
Good luck,
Jonathan

I use lighttpd on Linux, but there seems to exist a Windows version as well:
http://www.lighttpd.net/
I have written about using it with PHP here:

Suggestions to the contrary would be heresy. :-[
formail has helped me a number of times when dealing with a mailbox
file, I'm pretty certain it'll do what you want.

Is it possible that the file is 8-bit characters and your PHP implementation is
converting it to 16-bit characters?
I'm not sure what settings would be involved for that, but no-one else has
responded so I thought a vague idea might be better than nothing!

It also offers ease of moving, You don't have to move both database
and file system to a different server, just the database.
Additionally, the file paths are always correct -- just reference the
database. So, there are upsides to storing images in a database.
I haven't read a single MySQL/PHP book (dozens) that claims storing
images in a database is a bad idea.

What is the difference?
/Nisse
That's the best idea.
That way you know how the file has been changed.

Well, I can tell you that mysql really starts to have issues when the
image table gets up to around 12Gb in size. And if you look at larger
DBs like oracle the like, internally they store a pointer in the table
and the image elsewhere.

Hello,
I just want to implement a shoutbox script for an e-learning application.
Searched Google for possible solutions but I just want to know what other

AJAX and GPL is a must.
Forgive me, but I don't know what a "shoutbox" is?
As for an online exam that uses ajax, does this work?

If so, you are free to use anything you find there under GPL.

Thanks for your response, but shoutbox isn't a online exam system. Shoutbox
is a chat-like feature that generally work with ajax. Where you can post
quick messages to website. We'll use it for a quick communication with admin
of system.
Here's what wiki says about Shoutbox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoutbox.

I don't know of anything you can use like this, especially that runs
purely on Ajax. Just take a look at Facebook chat. That's Ajax, and
fails and falls over on a constant basis to the point where it is almost
useless. Imho, Java seems to be pretty good at this sort of thing, and
there are plenty of free options out there that you could use.
