Err, PHP CGI would be in /usr/local/bin/php..
Yeah, but that's not what I asked - I asked about the cwd (current working directory :) There are situaties where you have like: /opt/guide/somesite.com/cgi-bin /opt/guide/somesite.com/htdocs /opt/guide/somesite.com/logs cgi-bin and htdocs (2 possible cwds) are under user control.
Yes, I know :) The big question is whether PHP, when executed by Apache (as a CGI), starts up in one of these directories, or in Apache's directory. If it starts in one of these directories - then indeed we have a problem, because it'll search this directory for the php.ini. If it starts in Apache's directory, then there's no problem. Zeev
