I can confirm that:
  - this affects Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 only.
  - this is needed for both CGI or ISAPI mode.
  - this is currently not in the documentation.

A tutorial I wrote earlier this year covers many of the major steps
involved, although it hasn't been updated for PHP 5 yet (it was written
while PHP 5 was still in beta.)

The relevant section of said tutorial can be found here:
http://unknown.network32.net/tutorial.basic-server#configure.php.iis

The Macromedia tutorial linked to in one of the previous comments does
*not* describe the necessary information either.  However, some
comments to the documentation page do.

Any other problems are not related to this bug; notably, the whole CGI
issue *is* properly documented already (although ISAPI is more
efficient...)

Thanks,

I couldn't for the life of me get IIS 5.1 and PHP 5 in CGI mode to
work. I ignored all previous PHP 4 related instructions as I figured
them to be irrelevant. After reading  Philip's comments about the
Macromedia tutorial, I finally decided using their method for CGI mode
just might work.

All it took to get IIS 5.1 and PHP 5 to work in CGI mode was the
following lines, never referenced in the official documentation as what
you *must* do:

cgi.force_redirect = 0 // Default must be 1 when commented out.
cgi.redirect_status_env = ENV_VAR_NAME

Now that I'm not running in ISAPI mode, all of my scripts aren't open
handles of dllhost.exe. dllhost.exe is no longer crashing every time
the system is restarted.

Yay!

The IIS docs need help, someone who uses IIS should really update these
docs.  Marking as critical.  The PHP installer should also look into
being updated for this (although IMHO nobody should use the PHP
installer!)
