This note from Derick pretty much reflects the idea... it makes sense: <quote> I see that renaming the CGI to php-cgi might break things indeed, and that's never a good idea. But so is changing the name of the CLI (php) to something else. It also breaks things, not only for me, but also for countless others using the CLI with the name 'php'. We also need to think about these users as well. This leaves my opinion that i'm -1 on renaming the CLI to something else, and i'm a -0 (yes this changed :) on renaming the CGI. This leaves the (IMO) only possible solution: integrate them back into one binary and adding some magic which triggers CLI or CGI mode (perhaps to check for some environment variable). </quote> On Wed, 2002-12-18 at 14:59, Andrei Zmievski wrote: > What was the consensus on CGI vs. CLI naming or merging issue?
