Web server to run PHP + Erlang

I want to run PHP and Erlang on a web server. Apache is excluded due to the fact that the Erlang process for the backend will need to process about 3,000 requests at a time. So definitely something with a smaller memory size like lighttpd ...

Which one do you recommend? And why?

Erlang has a built-in web server:

It is difficult to answer this question without additional information. What do you want to use erlang and php for? Is php your frontend for the erlang backend process? Or is erlang going to make part of the interface as well?

I have seen people doing great with nginx before erlang and fastcgi. You can run php via fastcgi when nginx is redirecting. Without additional information, it would be difficult to say more.

Where PHP sucks, where Erlang excels! I And vice versa!
