Probably foolishly, but without looking at the documentation, I believe the
core of php is perfectly thread safe, but third party modules may not be, so
they urge caution.
The only third party modules I know of are php-accelerator, and the like.

Also, there is no reason why apache2 has to run in multi-threaded mode, Gentoo
defaults to multi-process, so there is *NO* reason why PHP may be unsafe.

If you worked for a hosting company would you bet your job on it?
I wouldn't...

That's it. yet another flaw... however, *I* would bet on my experience I got
with PHP4 and Apache2 => which I got since quite a while.

I'm running multiple PHP applications on it, not to mention phpBB and
tiki-wiki. never had any problem with them regarding to apche2.

greets,
Christian.

Do you have thousands of customers depending on it?
I didn't think so.
