G'day folks, It's been mentioned that the module approach to installing PHP4 has some security implications (as compared to the separate interpreter and using CGIs). My question is: For sites which do not have user-installed files (i.e. all web- content is provided by the site-owner), what risks are there in the module approach? Thanks for any information.
