Re: [PHP3] PHP-Authorisation under NT From: Richard Lynch (richard <email protected>)
Date: 05/12/00

DSO == ISAPI (dynamically compiled for Apache)

D is for Dynamic, and SO is for, errr, whatever .so is for in Unix
filenames... O is maybe for "object file"

Anyway, it's a binary file specifically compiled to "fit in" as a "dynamic
module" to Apache.

This means that one can recompile PHP (and only PHP) and install a new PHP
DSO, without recompiling all of Apache.

Contrast this with a "static" Module (the older way) where one had to
recompile all of Apache to install a new version of a Module of any kind.

Only downside: httpd -l doesn't list Dynamic Modules :-(

Note that PHP is working toward a similar technology for adding support for
the 24 add-on products APIs (eg MySQL, PostgreSQL, LDAP, IMAP, GD, etc)
