On the UNIX front, Apache is the web server of choice for most installations. PHP is rated as the second most popular Apache module, where it is found to perform very well. PHP can be compiled as a standalone interpreter, like any other CGI scripting language or it can be compiled as an Apache module. Apache is also available on the Windows platform and PHP is supported for this combination. FHTTPd is an open source, UNIX-only web server for which PHP can be configured as a module.

PHP distributions for Microsoft’s web server solutions IIS 3 up to IIS 5, PWS on Windows95/98 and NT are available. Omni HTTPd for Windows is another supported web server among others for which results may vary.
