Description:
------------
i found a bug in PHP-cgi.exe

I use Php-cgi as fastCgi

php-cgi.exe -b host:port

i set in environement variables this :

PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=8
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=1000

in the task manager i see only one  Php-cgi.exe
process (when normaly i must see 9 process no?)
and after i send more than 1000 request the
php-cgi.exe process died ! and i must manually
restart it! that not a normal behavior when 
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN is > 1

Reproduce code:
---------------
set in environement variables :
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=8
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=1000

exec: php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000

see in task manager only one Php-cgi.exe process

send more than 1000 request to php-cgi.exe, the process will die and you will need to manually restart it ! 




Expected result:
----------------
process must be restarted automatiquely

Actual result:
--------------
the main process die and you need to manually restart it !

You have just set the environment variables in wrong place / wrong way. (no idea how you do that in windows, but this works just fine under *nix)

I just discovered this while checking out xcache and this really doesn't work... 
phpinfo() even shows the env var in its output!

cmd:
# set PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=5
# set PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=3
# php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:9000

Process Explorer shows only one process with one thread.

Ran phpinfo() via browser:

Environment
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN	5
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS	3

It looks like php-cgi just ignores the PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN, since 
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS seems to be working as intended.

I have the same problem. We're using PHP with windows embedded.

PHP just ignores this environment variable (PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN).

Please reopen this bug.

The problem is that the PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN environment variable is ignored under windows, therefore php-cgi does not spawn children, and when PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS is reached the process terminates.

Check on PHP's source, file cgi_main.c, around line 1982:

#ifndef PHP_WIN32
  /* Pre-fork, if required */
  if (getenv("PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN")) {
    char * children_str = getenv("PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN");
...

So, php with fast-cgi will **never** work on Windows.

The question is, why is forking disabled under windows?
