By using cgiwrap or any other setuid wrapper.
The same functionality can be achieved by using php as a module with my
fhttpd server, however:
1. fhttpd can run php as a module, so it can achieve higher performance
and use features like persistent connections to databases,
2. only php3 can be compiled as fhttpd module -- I was too busy with my
other projects recently to port php4 to fhttpd modules interface, so it's
good that I've got reminded of it now when I have enough spare time to
complete it.
