ngx_php

ngx_php is an extension module of high-performance web server nginx, which implements embedded php script to process nginx location and variables.

ngx_php draws on the design of ngx_lua and is committed to providing non-blocking web services with significant performance advantages over php-cgi, mod_php, php-fpm and hhvm.

ngx_php doesn't want to replace anything, just want to provide a solution.

Milestones about the project

• ngx_php5 - A legacy version with php5, which records some of my past code practices and is also valuable.
• ngx_php7 - An active branch of development where you can get more fresh details.

What's different with official php

• Global variable is unsafe in per request
• Static variable of a class is unsafe in per request
• Do not design singleton mode
• The native IO function works fine, but it slows down nginx
