You say *PHP is* the application, the philosopher said the web server is the application.
I find both statements technically speaking true, but when the OP asked if the
problem was the application he was talking quite clearly about the forum software,
i.e. the *PHP script*.
Agreed that the main executable is the web server, which calls the PHP module. But
when you say "I write my application in python/perl/php" you are writing a script,
not an interpreter!
