Nginx with PHP

• web server and gateway application communicate with sockets such as TCP

• web server forwards the client request to the gateway and receives the response within a single connection

• can be implemented on any platform with any programming language.

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME

$document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;

include fastcgi_params;

}

}
