Brian? Maybe, I don't know, I have not tried it for about one year. I never wanted to maintain Apache and when there is no server then there is no need to have PHP;) Well, I tried about twenty other webservers but all I tried are were not suitable for my needs or don't build at all, one which I ran for a while was WN server. However I always ended with my own Apache1 build which is sufficient for my needs (it runs without maintenance for several months now and I think there is pretty much load at my 144k sdsl pipe). Recently I discovered lighttpd, IIRC it was a freshmeat announcement, and I tried it immediatly and I liked it, it builds ok with shared libs. Now the upstream maintainer Jan asks to include it in the netrelease which is really fantastic, so I stepped in and explained Jan how to cygwinize his package, there are still some minor nits, but all is included in the original source tarball and no patches are needed. Now there is a new server and maybe I'll try to get PHP running soon. But why wait for me? Try it yourself? No problem that cannot be discussed at this list (as long as it is about problems with building some open sourced code for cygwin).
