Hi In the NEWS file for 4.3.0 there should definitly be an entry about renaming php.exe to php-cgi.exe on win32, maybe this should even be mentioned on the download page together with the release. If not, there will be many bug reports about HTTP 500 errors and premature end of script headers after having installed PHP 4.3.0 as CGI on Win32. BTW, I still don't understand why php-cli cannot be called php-cli.exe on win32. Like this, many users would guess how the problem cgi and 4.3.0 can be solved even if they don't read php-dev (or the release notes). Christoph

Simply because calling the command line interface should be easy - as easy as calling awk or perl or whatever. Every server api module like cgi must be installed, so the name does not matter there. But having long names for command line utils is a bad idea. marcus
