How the PHP works?
Hello world!
I know that the question isn't simple, but .. how works the php
integration in Apache? Do you have implemented an php interpreter, or
simply use an existent interpreter? Which files/functions do this
work?
As you can see, I am lost, and I don't know where to search. Excuse me
if my question is an stupid question :P

Yes, you are lost. Please download PHP from http://www.php.net/ and
follow the instructions in the INSTALL document contained in their
distribution.
This mailinglist is a forum for the discussion of development issues
concerning the Apache HTTP Server. For discussions about using
Apache, please refer to users@httpd.apache.org. For discussion on
issues specific to PHP, you will find the correct venue at www.php.net.

Better a week late than never. I wonder where that's been.

Toni - this isn't really the right list for your question - this list
is concerned with the development of Apache itself.
The majority of the PHP code is not Apache specific and then there's
an Apache loadable module that interfaces with the PHP engine.

php is an interpreter that can be embedable in many web server(and other thing) and can be usable a command line interpreter...
and is the php team that make the embedading of php in each server...
each embeding is named sapi, and go in sapi (Serveur API) directory of PHP, and you while see some implementation for differente serveur possible with php interpreter...
the sapi for apache are:
* apache => apache v1 implementation
* apache2filter => apache v2 implementation as filter (see filter implementation of apache module in apache dev docs)
* apache2handler => apache v2 implementation as handler (see handler implementation of apache module in apache dev docs)
* apache_hooks => experimental implémentation like mod_perl, that can be abale to hook programaticly in php all hookable hook of apache!!
all php apache implementation use hook to handler or filter to apache.
all intepreter use handler or filter hook to embed in apache...
use hook in general to make module for apache....
to know how php integration work you must anderstand how to make module in apache, and for this go to apache dev docs...to anderstand how filter and handler hook work...

The majority of the PHP code is not Apache specific and then there's
an Apache loadable module that interfaces with the PHP engine.

Though:
Note: Please stop using TinyHTTPD. [...] when you need a
lightweight HTTP server for actual use, try Boa. This is better
suited even for the purpose for which TinyHTTPD was originally
intended. For a better web server in perl, look at Plexus or
HTTPi.
I suggested (off-list) he look at:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-CGIHTTPServer.html
and
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-BaseHTTPServer.html
both of which are used quite a bit for development and since the first
of these should be able to execute php as cgi out-of-the-box ... I'm now
trying to persuade him to give up programming it in C :-).

If you want to look at a webservers source code to understand what a
webserver does, apache is too complex. Try a simple one:

If you want to look at a webservers source code to understand what a
webserver does, apache is too complex. Try a simple one:

Thank you. I'm asking this because I'm writing a little web server, in
order to improve my little programing skills, and I want to add a php
interpreter to them. But, as you can see, I need a lot of basics
knowledges about the web servers structure.
I will try to read the code of mod_php in ordrer to understand how the
CGI relates the server web and the php interpreter!
