PHP as CGI

[Edomondo]

Hi there.

What is the difference of PHP as CGI or as Apache module?

Except you can't set .htaccess, why does v.1.8.8 RC1 needs PHP being a module? Is there a way to set it with PHP as CGI?

PhpDig v.1.8.8 RC1 uses a .htaccess file to set a couple of PHP values.

Regarding CGI versus Apache:

There are proponents and opponents for each.

I see. Seems like what is best between PHP & ASP...

Besides you can't set the .htaccess file in the PhpDig root directory, can PhpDig work OK with PHP as CGI?
If not, what will change between both configurations?

You could try setting the PHP values from the .htaccess file in the php.ini file instead. Other than that, I don't see why PhpDig wouldn't work with PHP as CGI, but I haven't tested it so who knows.
