Subject: [PHP] php4 as a module AND a cgi
> hi all,
>
> thanks for the replies. many of you asked why I want to use php4 as a
cgi.
>
> basically it boils down to this, using PHP as CGI you can run PHP scripts
> via cron tab, which eliminates the need for shell scripting (yeah baby).
>
> i did some investigation a few months ago (when I was on a virtual host)
and
> found that cron could not call PHP scripts due to the fact that it's
Apache
> calling the cron process not root (or another user).
>
> a work around seems to be sending everything to Lynx (or the equivalent)
but
> at the time my hosting provider would not allow me to do this.
>
> anyone have a faster, more secure way to call PHP via cron?

> p.s. in reply to my earlier post i got differing reports as to the
security
> concerns of running PHP as a cgi. one person replied that cgi shoudl be
> avoided at all costs while another said that he thought it was the way to

> p.p.s thanks for the replies to my questions, it's extremely helpful.
