Matthew:
The difference between 2 & 3 is that in 2, the module is compiled as a
module separate from the apache server, and is loaded dynamically at startup
of the httpd process if specified in the config file. With 3, the module is
compiled directly into the httpd binary.
There may be a slight speed advantage (mostly at startup) of compiling the
module into httpd, but IMHO, the dynamic module is the way to go. It's
certainly a lot easier whenever it comes to upgrading either the module or
apache, especially as you start using additional modules. Upgrading apache
when you have a whole bunch of extra modules to be compiled in is a pain. If
all your modules are dynamically loaded, it's simple.
Cheers,
Barry

Subject: PHP and Apache
First off thanks to all those who helped me out, I've finally gotten
everything up and running. In doing so however I've come across 3 different
options for making PHP work w/ apache.
1) PHP as a CGI through Apache
2) PHP as a shared Apache Module ( --with-apxs=[FILE] )
3) PHP as an Apache Module ( --with-apache=[FILE] )
Basically, I'm wondering what's the big difference between the second two,
and which is better.
