This bug has been fixed in CVS.
In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
The final descision was made:
The php cgi binary is /php4/php.exe. This one is intended to be used
with webservers.
/php4/cli/php-cli.exe is the CLI Version of php intended to use for
commandline scripting.

Until a descision is made by the developers of PHP about the names of
the binaries this bug will be suspended.

I tried installing 4.3.0RC2 in CGI mode for Apache, following the
documentation at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.commandline.php
Result: one hour wasted. Reason: the page does not contain any hint as
to what directives need to be added to the httpd.conf to enable
processing of *.php files by the interpreter. There is a user-provided
docnote which handles this, suggesting to use something like this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
ScriptAlias /php4/ "/home/king/php-4.1.2/"
Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php
Unfortunately, this is dangerously outdated: you must use
/php4/php-cgi, not /php4/php. Failing to do so results in the very
difficult to debug "Premature end of script headers" message in
server's error log. That "php-cgi" thing is mentioned NOWHERE on the
CGI installation page - I only managed to solve it through advice on
IRC.
