Ouch. So there are *three* possible PHP compiles: > module, CGI, and CLI? > > OK. To save us the cost of rebuilding at this host, is there any way to > pass args to the CLI version of the script running as a CGI? You might have getenv('QUERY_STRING') for GET data and *possibly* to get the POST data you can do something like: $fp = fopen('php://stdin', 'r'); while (!feof($fp) ) $buf .= fgets($fp, 1024); fclose($fp); Then of course you're going to have to parse the query_string and post data in order to get the variable names and values.. parse_str(getenv('QUERY_STRING'), $_GET); Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
