PHP ZTS extension
When apache run in worker mode (instead of prefork mode), the ZTS (Zend Thread Safe) version of PHP is used.
If an extension maintainer want to provides a ZTS version of this extension, he must ensure that - the extension is thread safe - the libraries used by the extension are thread safe
The php-devel package in fedora >= 17 (5.4.0) provides the necessary files to build ZTS modules and provides several new macros:
For standard (NTS) extensions
%{__php} %{_bindir}/php
%{php_extdir} %{_libdir}/php/modules
%{php_inidir} %{_sysconfdir}/php.d
%{php_incldir %{_includedir}/php
For ZTS extensions
%{__ztsphp} %{_bindir}/php-zts
%{php_ztsextdir} %{_libdir}/php-zts/modules
%{php_ztsinidir} %{_sysconfdir}/php-zts.d
%{php_ztsincldir %{_includedir}/php-zts/php
php-devel provides the executables needed during the build of a ZTS extension, which are:
- phpize-zts
- php-config-zts
- php-zts (which is only useful to run test suite during build)
