 New Comment:

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.

for windows:
cgi binary was always php.exe and placed in
(phpdir)/php.exe.
cli binary was php-cli.exe from 4.2.0 - 4.2.3 placed in
(phpdir)/php-cli.exe
starting with 4.3.0 the cli changed its name and location to
(phpdir)/cli/php.exe.

for linux: the name of any binary was allways php 

Only RC versions of 4.3 had diiferent names, no need to document.

The different names for windows are now documented at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

This brings up a good point.  We should document when CLI and CGI had
different names as there used to be php-cgi.exe and/or php-cli.exe
and/or php.exe, and in linux wasn't there a binary named php-cli at
somepoint as well?

Whatever the exact case may be, this all involves the PHP 4.2 branch
when CLI was experimental.

Actually, it's:

{phpdir}/php.exe (CGI)
{phpdir}/cli/php.exe (CLI)

This is documented at features.commandline.php

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.
