Hi!
naive question - can I just exec php and pipe input and output? There is
probably some good reason that is not obvious to me.
The good reasons for using FCGI are:
- environment passing
- headers handling
- POST passing
- stderr handling
- performance - creating new process is very expensive
- structure - people already thought about a bunch of things when
creating this protocol that may not be obvious at first
- wide support - a lot of FCGI implementations exist, both server and client
There's also SCGI which is much simpler than FCGI but no official PHP
driver for it yet (it's really so simple you could probably implement it
in PHP too, but lose some of the advantages).
