To alter this behaviour, you need to compile php to provide the cgi version of the interpreter. I posted a mail here a couple of months ago discussing this, because there is then a problem if users, especially on a multi-homed system, are using the non-cgi version of php. It is possible to have both, and also the command line interpreter, but only with a little bit of fiddling about. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-February/037878.html PWR.
