Thank you Alan. Could some one get more detail info on Zend Thread Safety?

Probably the only resource is the source (some of the php books may
cover it)
This has a nice introduction to thread concepts.

Any document would be fine.

Zend Thread Safety AFAIR,

The Basics of the thread saftey stuff are using global arrays indexed on
the thread id, rather than just plain globals (no thread safe builds,
eg. for apache or cli etc.)

There are a few good books with introductions to Internals (Georges,
Advanced PHP, is very good, and I think someone will point you towards
at least 2 others)

There is a section in the manual - Zend API that covers quite alot, and
lxr.php.net is very usefull..

Although it would be nice if the source used comments that could be run
through doxgen.. (although I'm not voluteering to add them ;)

Regards
Alan
