    That would be pretty difficult seeing as the API hasn't been stable until very recently. Still, if you were that desperate, you could run the apache2filter module from CVS around the date of your chosen Apache 2 release with a release PHP.

    Um, yes you can. The apache2filter SAPI module is still crufty and this isn't a release version. You've got a good few weeks yet while enough kinks are worked out to even warrant a .0 release.

    By all means test it and throw it on your dev server, but don't be surprised when n random kiddie exploits a vulnerability or your httpd-error.log starts filling with tens of thousands of nice errors :)

    The 4.2.0RC3 code still isn't completely up to snuff for working with 2.0.35. As a dynamic module, PHP will crash apache on startup. I found that someone hacked in a work around (but it looks like it would disable threading) by checking the PHP QA bug database.
