embed sapi module and multi-threading

No problem. I will clean up the code to remove non generic items and
will post a link for code inspection shortly.

Hello Bas,

I would assume that we will see more people wanting this in the
future.
So if you're willing to provide your code under PHP License,
maintain it
in the foreseeable future and provide a clean version of it (as in
free
from anything that is not really necessary), then you should show us a
patch. And if it looks fine you should go for an account.

Hi,

For a project of mine I had to have an embedded webserver with php
support. For this I've used the boost::asio multi-threaded example as
a base and modified it so I could enable php scripting support. The
first, logical and fast thing to do was to try out the embed sapi
module but I found it to hang on concurrent php_embed_init calls.

The biggest issue I found was that the embedded module bundles sapi
module startup and request startup. I ended up writing my own SAPI
module as I also needed full support for POST methods, URL queries,
etc. but I can imagine people being interested in having an embedded
sapi which separates module startup/shutdown and request startup/
shutdown so concurrency works together with being able to have
separate request environments for each thread.

Separating these calls would allow for the following:

At program startup initialize the php environment
At each thread startup initialize a php request environment

With a few minor alterations I could convert my specific sapi module
or current embed module to a generic embed-mt multithread capable
module.

Would this be something that you are interested in?

kind regards,

Hi PHP Devs,

I've placed an example of the Embed2 SAPI in a subversion repository:

http://svn.tobin.nl/public/php/embed2/trunk/	

I hope you like it...
