PHP RFC: Removal of dead SAPIsVersion: 0.5
Date: 2014-01-24
Currently PHP contains many SAPIs to the servers either completely unavailable or unsupported for a long time. The corresponding list
Dead SAPIs:
aolserver
apache
apache_hooks
caudium
continuity
isapi
milter
phttpd
pi3web
roxen
thttpd
tux
webjames
apache2filter - not really dead, but currently broken
Maintained SAPIs:
apache2handler
cli
cgi
embed
fpm
litespeed
nsapi
phpdbg
Things required to be done for the final decisions:
research the author names
articulate the exact state of each dead SAPI
articulate the exact state and availability of the corresponding server
if possible and makes sense, check if the SAPIs compiles, even with very ancient but latest release of the server
check if there are packages supported by distros
notify the authors about a possible removal of the corresponding SAPI, wait for their response and include it for the final decision
This RFC crosses with https://wiki.php.net/rfc/size_t_and_int64 as removal of the dead SAPIs will exlude the need of their porting.
ProposalDead SAPIs should be removed.
Backward Incompatible ChangesAs the dead SAPIs are already dead, no BC breach is expected.
Proposed PHP Version(s)7
SAPIs ImpactedDead SAPI list in the description.
Impact to Existing ExtensionsNone.

Open IssuesNone.

Proposed Voting ChoicesRemove dead SAPIs: yes/no
