Components for implementing Application Server in PHP5.3+

AppServer, a set of components for building fast universal web-apps in PHP

Web server interface for PHP, inspired by Ruby’s Rack and Python’s WSGI. It provides a common API for connecting PHP frameworks and applications to webservers.

The main idea is, that your app, if built for this protocol, will be able to preload resources, preconnect to databases and response to requests really fast.

PHP 5.3+ is recommended (and required, if you use main branch), as it provides new garbage collector for cyclic references, which is critical for long-running apps. We also have a special "backported" version for those of you, who are stuck with PHP 5.2.

You can get latest release using PEAR:

pear channel-discover pear.indeyets.pp.ru
pear install indeyets/AppServer

Or, if you need version backported to php 5.2:

pear channel-discover pear.indeyets.pp.ru
pear install indeyets/AppServer_backport52
