The relatively familiar Apache module. 2. A CGI interpreter/module/executable. 3. A CLI interpreter/executable. IIRC, and you should read the docs, NOTES, README, etc. /www/mod_phpN is only #1. lang/phpN is superior*, in that it installs the Apache module and the CLI/CGI depending on how it's configured**. HTH, Kevin Kinsey * IMHO, of course. ** I'm not sure I'm interpreting it correctly. I *always* use lang/php and get module/CLI. I *think* I could get CGI instead with a config knob ... but it's not necessary, since my CGI scripts could call the CLI with the appropriate switch anyway, and AFAIK there's not a great deal of difference between CGI and CLI --- one notable is that CGI auto-prepends the HTML header. -- In /users3 did Kubla Kahn A stately pleasure dome decree, Where /bin, the sacred river ran Through Test Suites measureless to Man Down to a sunless C.
