RE: PHP as a CGI or Module
This has been discussed some but I am interested to see if one is more
popular then the other. My experience has been most people run PHP as a
apache module but is there a specific benefit to run it as a cgi
program? What about very large servers such as web hosts? I am currently
wrestling with some issues (apaches global variables) that aren't working
with php -cgi and wonder if this is a common occurance with php-cgi or
just a misconfiguration on the hosts end. Does one version serve the
pages faster or provide less overhead on the server?
I have read a few FAQ's on this but interested to see what is happening in
the real world. Is one form more popular then the other?
