does php+apache have caching of page+data, db connect pool?

http://philip.greenspun.com/wtr/aols...duction-1.html

reading this stuff and aolserver+tcl seemed to have some amazing
features

Why You'd Want to Use AOLserver
AOLserver delivers the following features and benefits:
faster, more reliable, more maintainable scripting
pooled connections to relational database management systems
single Unix process gives programmers the ability to cache files or
database results in virtual memory
Let's address each of these in turn

I have yet to see anything good come out of AOL, ever :)
AOLserver delivers the following features and benefits:

PHP seems to be plenty fast, reliable, and, if used correctly,
maintainable.
pooled connections to relational database management systems
Basically the same as the *_pconnect() family of database functions in
PHP.
single Unix process gives programmers the ability to cache files or
database results in virtual memory
You can do this in PHP any number of ways. The shared memory functions
seem like a good place to start:

Hmm... The document you are referring to is dated July 1999...
The author seems to advocate the use of server modules over
CGI programs, which is exactly what Apache has been doing
for years with mod_php, mod_perl, mod_python, etc. Also,
the argument against using CGI scripts is no longer a convincing
one now that FastCGI is around...

Cheers,
NC
