Compiling for 64 bit?

Apache, PHP and MySQL are all running in 32 bit on a Solaris server
that is 64 bit. The main problem I have is I need 64 bit integers so
I have 2 questions:

If I compile PHP for 64 bit, do I need to compile Apache in 64 bit
also? (My VPS came with everything installed as 32 bit except for the
OS, it is 64 bit. So, ideally, I would not like to have to go through
compiling everything.)

Where would be the best place to look for a precompiled PHP5 for
Solaris 64 bit?

Thanks,
Darren

I wouldn't have thought so..php output is a character stream fed to
apache..via stdout IIRC.

I would just compile your own..but will it give you 64 bit ints?

You'll need source for everything to compile it into 64-bit. It will
also be slower as memory access for 64-bit applications has a
performance penalty over 32-bit applications.

Surely memory access is FASTER, its disk access that is slower.
