There is support for PHP in Apache 2, but you need to compile apache 
without a multithreaded MPM. The reason for this is that, although the 
core PHP library is meant to be thread safe, many of the extensions 
aren't. Obviously, compiling apache like this removes one of the 
advantages that apache 2 offers, though you still get enough goodies to 
make the move an interesting possibility.

On a related note, watch out for lots of mod_perl modules to break as 
you move from apache 1.3.x to apache 2: the way that the cwd is 
determined has changed. FWIW, mod_perl2 treats the cwd as being the 
root of the apache installation (as apache does) rather than the 
directory from which the script was run. When I last had a play with 
it, there were moves to try and get a module that faked it to allow 
more backwards compatibility.

Cheers,

Simon
