Wait, so there used to be a php-cli.exe ? Add that to the history request question :) And so a user tries to install via some install tutorial on foo.com, what problems/errors will they see when accessing via the browser? Philip

There was no spoon :-) ok start again: There was no cli and only cgi binary called php.exe. Then we decided to have a command line executable (abbrevation CLI). And the we decided to use 'php.exe' for the new CLI and to avoid confusion we chose to rename the CGI binary from 'php.exe'. So now there will be some books and other papers and online docs out there which state that php.exe has to be installed....In other words there will be users who install CLI as CGI what will lead into errors. marcuis

This is _sorta_ documented but not really, only the apache2 docs make any mention of it thus far. Regards, Philip On Sun, 8 Dec 2002, Alexander Wagner wrote:

I think a big ole' message at the end of ./configure will drastically reduce the number of problems.

With php.exe? *g*

Also, perhaps a check could be put in the CLI version of PHP that would throw an error message if it

is being

used as a CGI...

A _meaningful_ error-message in the right place would be the right thing (tm). Too many people don't read release-notes. regards Wagner -- codito ergo sum -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
