I maintain the port which explicitly relies on the CGI version of PHP. It's called suphp. I use the WANT_PHP_CGI knob, as defined in ports/Mk/bsd.php.mk. There are a total of four (4) ports which use WANT_PHP_CGI, and 3 of the 4 only use it when suphp support is enabled: ports/databases/phpmyadmin ports/net/phpldapadmin ports/www/horde ports/www/suphp The number of Emails I get per week about the suphp port (particularly "why hasn't it been updated to 0.6.x") proves to me how many FreeBSD server administrators rely on it. suphp is presently only one of two methods available for securely running PHP scripts as the script owner or per a user/group directive inside of an Apache <VirtualHost> block. It's a important port for web hosting providers. Please be aware of this before requesting/submitting any changes. Ensure your changes work with suphp -- thoroughly -- before agreeing they be committed.
