mpm-worker is not compatible with PHP, and there is a good reason for that.

Read this, e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/12296 :

"... the current opinion of upstream is that PHP's Thread Safety Resource Manager is so poorly-written, it should be completely removed, and NEVER used in production. Their recommendation for users of threaded webservers is currently to use CGI or FastCGI.

After enabling ZTS on Debian's PHP builds and triaging a bunch of bug reports over the last few weeks, while I'm not convinced ZTS is complete evil, it does seem fairly obvious that it's poorly-maintained and not ready for prime-time."
