You should be able to set up PHP using FastCGI by following the instructions
at http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/cookbook_php.html
If you still want to use PHP via CGI, please make sure your PHP build is a CGI
build. Run "/usr/bin/php -v" and check the output. You'll get something like
this:
dantest:/# php -v
PHP 5.3.6-6~dotdeb.1 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Apr 4 2011 12:43:25)
Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
with XCache v1.3.1, Copyright (c) 2005-2010, by mOo
Make sure it says "cgi" or "cgi-fcgi" in the brackets. If it says "cli", you'll
need to recompile, unless you have a PHP CGI binary as well (it might be at
/usr/bin/php-cgi). A CLI build of PHP does not populate $_GET and $_POST, nor
does it output HTTP headers.

Subject: Re: [Cherokee] Help for the PHP CGI program
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Actually, I use the Cherokee as a method to configure the machine only.
My customers prefer to use PHP.
By the way, sorry, I don't know the difference between the PHP and FastCGI.
My question is that, when I use the "POST" method, if the cgi program is
written by Perl, then it can receive the input value.
But if the cgi program is written via PHP, then it cannot receive the input
value.
I have no idea what's wrong here? The setting of Cherokee or my PHP (both is
built by myself for ARM)?
Best regards,
ruey-an

Is there any particular reason you're using PHP via CGI? I have not seen PHP
