File server, of course, has nothing to do with php unless you write the file server in php. 8*| Or, perhaps that mod_php is usually compiled into the file server.

Perhaps what he meant by web server was firewall (i. e., handling the internet interface), and by file server he meant what we now call web server (i. e., presenting the view of the file system that the outside world is supposed to see)? -- Joel Rees, programmer, Kansai Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
