Thanks I understand. The INSTALL script in my port seems to be written to
mod-php. But I think I know or can find what to do.

As a PHP noivce I have a more general question. I want to offer PHP to virtual
hosting customers. Is there a place to find a discussion of the pros and cons of
the CGI binary and mod-php. I had concluded from reading that the CGI binary and
suExec was the best for that environment.
