We recommend the Apache builds as provided 916 by <a href="http://www.apachelounge.com/">ApacheLounge</a>. For any other SAPI (CLI, 917 FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable 918 server), everything works as before. Third party extension providers 919 must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with 920 the Visual Studio C++ 9 builds that we now provide. 921 </p> 922 923 <p>All PHP users should note that the PHP 5.2 series is NOT supported anymore.
