What is thread safe and non-thread safe in PHP and how does it affect work?
Hello everyone! I've just started learning PHP more deeply and came across the terms "thread safe" and "non-thread safe" when downloading PHP distributions. Honestly, I'm confused.
I'm writing a regular web application on PHP + Apache (mod_php). I have a simple script that counts page visits in a file:
```php
```
It seems to work fine, but I've read that if you use thread safety, there can be problems with race conditions and variables can "overlap" between threads. And if non-thread safe, everything works faster but may crash.
I don't understand: which option should I choose for
