What is the best way to run PHP with Nginx?

  1. Run Nginx with PHP FastCGI
  2. Run Nginx as a reverse proxy while Nginx forwards request to Apache

It should read FastCGI instead of CGI. nginx supports CGI only through a hack (wiki.nginx.org/NginxSimpleCGI) at this time. – joschi Jun 25 '10 at 16:23
Yeah should have told PHP FastCGI Updated; Thanks! – infynyxx Jun 25 '10 at 20:10

If you need support for htaccess or any other Apache features, option 2, otherwise option 1.

I would say option one, and look into using php-fpm with nginx, it works great.
