    What is the difference between PHP ISAPI and FastCGI modules? Why is FastCGI being used most widely?

    Thanks,

    I dont know about FastCGI

    ISAPI is generally windows / c++ / c# based and is compiled and PHP is uncompiled and generally runs on *nix but can also run on windows now

    Well.
    PHP can be run in IIS by two techniques. Once is ISAPI and the rest is FastCGI. My question is that why FastCGI is widely used in IIS, not ISAPI ???
