Hi all. I am trying to to install a SublimeLinter-php, and it says I first have to install PHP for Windows. But I am unclear on which version of PHP Windows I should install: Thread Safe or Non Thread Safe.
The instructions on the page indicate:
If you are using PHP as FastCGI with IIS you should use the Non-Thread Safe (NTS) versions of PHP.
I am not sure if that applies to me.
Thanks in advance.
If you’re not sure then probably not. Thread Safe should be the one to get unless you know you need the other one.
Hey thanks for the reply. I actually posted somewhere else and someone indicated I might need the non thread safe. The rationale was because of the additional text on the page:
For NTS binaries the widespread use case is interaction with a web server through the FastCGI protocol, utilizing no multithreading (but also for example CLI).
Isn’t mine a CLI case?
Sure, if you’re not going to need multiple threads, nts will also work. Doubt there is a real downside to it being multi-thread capable though.
