Any pointers or enlightenment would be welcomed. :) Regards Mike Robinson
Just because you only need to type the name of the CGI sapi once: In other word one single time until we decide the name changes. But you will use a command line interface hopefully very often. I for one do and i am not going to type php-cli.exe because it is way much to long. The reason against renaming CGI and using its old name for the CLI now would have lead us to register_globals=ON for eternity. marcus
