You may not have noticed, but last night I upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5. Everything went smoothly, so I went one step further and upgraded to FastCGI for PHP.
What does this mean?
PHP5 (FastCGI)
All files with the extension .php will be handled by PHP5 FastCGI processes. FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_suphp. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpretor on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster.
Depending on your computer and what applications you use, there should be a difference in page loading speed. If you have the password, password protected posts should now login normally (input password, hit ’submit’) and those posts will stay open for you as long as your cookies are enabled.
As per usual, please let me know if there’s any weirdness. Cheerios!
