Sorry Marcus, but - even though I think these names are better - the same could be said for a cli: ln -s php-cli php or even: alias php /usr/local/bin/php-cli For windows - you could move php-cli.exe to C:\WINNT\system32\php.exe and it's preferred in the path (or set %PATH%). But - changing the name for the CGI, breaks server environments... I think on windows, the two executables, should be named the php.exe and the cgi stored in the standard php4 dir and the cli version in bin/. This way you have the best of both worlds - it won't break CGI - and a simple PATH adjustment takes care of the cli problem. For unices, we could provide a --with-cgi-name configure option and default to php, with --disable-cli.
