Explanation of four common php running methods and php4

Four Common php running modes: CGI, FastCGI, APACHE2HANDLER, and CLI.

1. CGI

CGI is the common gatewag interface. It is a program. Generally speaking, CGI is like a bridge, which connects the webpage to the execution program on the WEB server, it passes the commands received by HTML to the execution program on the server, and then returns the results of the execution program on the server to the HTML page. CGI provides excellent cross-platform performance and can be implemented on almost any operating system.

In CGI Mode, a connection request (user request) must first create a cgi sub-process, activate a CGI process, process the request, and end the sub-process after processing. This is the fork-and-execute mode. As a result, the number of connection requests to servers in the cgi Mode is limited to the number of cgi sub-processes. repeated loading of sub-processes is the main cause of low cgi performance. When the number of user requests is very large, a large amount of system resources such as internal storage and CPU time will be squeezed out, resulting in low efficiency.

2. FastCGI

Fast-cgi is an upgraded version of cgi. FastCGI is like a long-live CGI. It can be executed all the time, it does not take time to fork once every time. PHP uses PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager), the full name of PHP FastCGI Process Manager for management.
When the Web Server starts, load the FastCGI Process Manager (iis isapi or Apache Module ). FastCGI Process Manager initializes itself, starts Multiple CGI interpreter processes (multiple php-cgi are visible), and waits for a connection from the Web Server.

When a client request arrives at the Web Server, the FastCGI process manager selects and connects to a CGI interpreter. The Web server sends CGI Environment Variables and standard input to the FastCGI sub-process php-cgi.

After the FastCGI sub-process completes processing, the standard output and error messages are returned from the same connection to the Web Server. When the FastCGI sub-process closes the connection, the request processing is complete. The FastCGI sub-process then waits for and processes the next connection from the FastCGI Process Manager (running on the Web Server. In CGI Mode, php-cgi exits here.

In the above cases, you can imagine how slow CGI is. For each Web request, PHP must re-Parse php. ini, re-load all extensions, and initialize all data structures. With FastCGI, all of these occur only once when the process starts. An additional benefit is that Persistent database connection can work.

3. APACHE2HANDLER
PHP is used as the Apache module. After the Apache server is started, multiple process replicas are generated in advance and reside in the memory. Once you find them, use these idle sub-processes for processing, in this way, there is no latency caused by the generation of sub-processes. These server copies do not exit immediately after processing an HTTP request, but are stuck in the computer waiting for the next request. The response to client browser requests is faster and the performance is high.

4. CLI

Cli is the command line running mode of php, and cli-Side Running commands are sometimes useful. The following is a summary:

As the best language in the world, php even has built-in server functions (not surprising ).
