What is Mod PHP???
Howdy, guys...

I am currently looking for a host... and this one looks pretty good in terms of price and other things, but I have no idea what this 'mod php' is... Can somebody tell me what this is, and what you think about this host???

The company name is Jumpline and the plan that I am looking is VDS500 for $15 per month plan...

mod_php is the name for the PHP Apache module. That means they support PHP scripting. For info about PHP visit www.php.net or have a look at the articles on Devshed.com

I guess I'm a little unclear on this too. Does this mean that if you have mod_php, you're using php as physical module that is intergrated (compiled) into apache. Otherwise, without mod_php, it's being run as an independent process (a php executable is being run)?

mod_php means its being ran as an Apache module, normally dynamically linked into it during loading. This gives better speed and is more efficient than using it as a CGI.

Thanks andreas. I figured it was a matter of running it as a cgi as opposed to something else. Dynamic linking makes sense now that I think about it...
