I know how it sounds ... web server written in PHP

.
I told a friend of mine about this project. He laughed and said "I would told you that you were enthusiast, but because you reach your goals (mentioned about my other project), I'll just call you insane." (something like that)

Very creative. If you've got eAccelerator or something similar installed the performance might not be half bad.

...why?

Nice work... but why?

I wanted a full platform. My web apps + my web server. Like AMD wanted own chipsets, graphics and processors :P
The second most reason why, is because I want to make portable web email client, without the need of large xampp/wamp/lamp with apache & mysql.

PS.
I added Alpha 1.1, with some fixes - url syntax, env variables....

I have managed to make it run under Windows, but it seems to be slow (that's because ran it from usb stick). For every PHP file you open (index.php, phpmyadmin.css.php...), the server initiates a sub process of php-cgi, that's how it is multi-threaded. The problem is that running brand new instance of php-cgi, causes PHP to load all the modules and functions again and again. When running PHP as a module of Apache, these PHP modules are loaded with the server.

eAccelerator will help with the data transfer.

I'm currently thinking of making swamp modules, in order to make autoindex, mimetypes, rewrite, alias... etc.

3 days of work and having 80% working server is more than I excected to do.

Something really important:
I'm looking for a new name, because I saw that there is already project with that name. I tend to choose name and then check if it's already taken. Names are of great importance in my projects.
I'm thinking right now of PHPUSE ( PHP Ueb SErver)

PS.
I stopped on Phlame.

PS2.
I'll think about the server while being at class. I'm last grade high school student, and have nothing to do, excluding that I have to fill up tests.

I released a package of Alpha 1.25.

Here are the installation instructions that are also contained in the archive.

Quote:

### Installation ###
These instuctions are after extracting the package contents...

//Windows
Edit the PHP extensions path in ini file "phlame\php-windows\php-phlame.ini"

extension_dir = "/phlame/php-windows/ext/"

Edit the following lines in file "phlame\conf\php-windows.ini", according to server root path.

doc_root = "/phlame/htdocs"
extension_dir = "/phlame/php-windows/ext/"
session.save_path = "/phlame/tmp/session"
upload_tmp_dir = /phlame/tmp/upload

//Linux

Edit the following lines in file "phlame/conf/php-linux.ini", according to server root path.

doc_root = "/phlame/htdocs"
session.save_path = "/phlame/tmp/session"
upload_tmp_dir = /phlame/tmp/upload

### Run process ###

//Windows
1.Start phlame-windows-start.bat
This will bind Phlame on 80 port, if available, otherwise will wait until it becomes available.
2.Open command prompt (aka. DOS)
Change directory to the server root.
Run phlame-windows.bat -s -p <port>

I'm just guessing here, but shouldn't this say something like:
