[PHP-DEV] SAPI Announcement From: Shane Caraveo (shane <email protected>)

Announcing a New Open Source Project: SAPI

The PHP Development Group is proud to present an exciting new open
source project. This project is based on concepts developed for the
next version of PHP. We decided that other developers may benefit from
the use of this code, so we have split out development into a separate
project called (temporarily) SAPI, or Server API.

SAPI is a standardized web server API that will enable a developer to
write web server extensions (plug-in, or whatever you wish to call
them) using an API that will allow the extension to be compiled for
multiple web servers, such as Apache, Netscape servers, O'Reily
Website, MS IIS, and many more. All server specific code is removed
from the extension, and placed into the SAPI library. SAPI will also be
cross platform, and thread safe, for those extensions designed to work
cross platform.

We are currently seeking developers who are familiar with web server
API's
and/or server extensions, to join the project. Currently there is some
draft
code which was based on code written for PHP to serve as an example of
what we
hope SAPI to become. Our first priority though, is gathering
knowledgeable
developers who are interested in drafting the the API prior to code
development.

Interested persons should visit the SAPI web site at
http://sapi.webyes.com/ (Note, also looking for someone who wants to
design a web site for the project)

Regards,
Shane Caraveo
