Sorry Marcus, but - even though I think these names are better - the same could be
said for a cli:
ln -s php-cli php
or even:
alias php /usr/local/bin/php-cli
For windows - you could move php-cli.exe to C:\WINNT\system32\php.exe and it's
preferred in the path (or set %PATH%).
But - changing the name for the CGI, breaks server environments...
I think on windows, the two executables, should be named the php.exe and the cgi
stored in the standard php4 dir and the cli version in bin/. This way you have the
best of both worlds - it won't break CGI - and a simple PATH adjustment takes care of
the cli problem.
For unices, we could provide a --with-cgi-name configure option and default to php,
with --disable-cli.
Just my 2c
