Please do.

As I said to Thorsten, you're already offering PHP for free now, I  
just want it on my application server rather than having to manage a  
second server and sync them. Requiring 2 servers to get free PHP is a  
hurdle not a benefit.

Look, it's not going to be a huge deal for me as I mainly develop  
internally, but for the solutions I do sell to clients, I have to be  
your salesman and it's going to be a tough sell - especially when I  
don't agree with the principle.

Filemaker saw the problem of having separate web and application  
servers. They now offer FMP Server Advanced for people wanting an  
application server which handles web on the same server. I'll grant  
you they only handle 100 web connections but I'm sure that's to  
protect performance.

Wouldn't it just be a matter of identifying PHP connections and not  
incrementing the connection count? Of course I also realise that in  
programming, things are never as easy as they first seem:)

Perhaps, but sadly I'm sure a dedicated cracker could break you now.
