RE: [PHP] PHP + Cron jobs

If you are running PHP as CGI, replacing the CGI with CLI could be problematic down the road...

I checked the cronjob and got this: PHP 5.2.6 (cgi) (built: Aug 11 2008 13:39:32) Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies with Advanced PHP Debugger (APD) v0.9, , by George Schlossnagle Turns out there's /usr/bin/php, which is the cgi version, and /usr/local/bin/php, which is the cli version. So I see three possiblities. 1. Change the shebang on the php script itself, 2. change the crontab to reflect to path I care about, or 3. replace /usr/bin/php. I'd prefer the 3rd, but does that cause problems for me in my actual web pages?
