Working openly with others to foster choice and innovation
Make it easier to develop products that
interoperate with Microsoft solutions
PHP Support in WS08 Integrated support with IIS 7.0 and Fast CGI
CGI and ISAPI was the only supported SAPIs on prior IIS versions
CGI – Stable but too slow
ISAPI – Fast but not stable
FastCGI support added in IIS 5.1, IIS 6.0, IIS 7.0Reliable and fast PHP processing
Upcoming improvements to FastCGIReal time tuning of system based on system load and number of requests waiting
Recycle PHP processes on changes to php.ini
Tracing – better debugging for PHP developers
Microsoft and the PHP Community
