I am on the PHP development track and I wanted to know; if I use Nginx instead of Apache, will it cause any problems in future through out the track?

24,848 PointsNo, I meant MEMP. In this case, 'E' stands for Nginx (EngineX).
So, if I choose to use Nginx instead of Apache as a web server, will it cause any problems in future through out the track?
