Ooohhh... Ouch. So there are *three* possible PHP compiles: module, CGI, and CLI? So far as the php binary in /usr/local/bin is concerned there are two - cli and cgi. The module consists of different files (see the AddModule and LoadModule bits of httpd.conf). You can have both (I have made that my standard build for multi-homed machines) but need to muck about a bit for this. OK. To save us the cost of rebuilding at this host, is there any way to pass args to the CLI version of the script running as a CGI? You might find you start getting odd problems with http headers if you use the cli version. In general you're better off using the cgi one. But you can get this by recompiling but not installing php cgi, then copy the php executable to, say, /usr/local/bin/php-cgi and prefacing your scripts with this in the shebang. That would mean zero disruption for users on the machine. Peter. Thanks HAND :-D -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] php as CGI and $_POST
Hi, all -- I am working up a CGI script to take advantage of Apache's suEXEC so that the web server can manipulate files as the site owner. I have already managed a simple $f = fopen(/path/to/docroot/testfile,'w') ; fwrite($f,hi!\n) ; fclose($f) ; and know that it works as intended, but now I seem completely unable to get any $_POST (or even $_GET) data into the script. I suspect, from reading the manual and noting the warnings, that any GET data will be ignored, and that's fine, but I know that I can provide that without even messing about with a form that I might somehow be screwing up, so I thought I'd try it... My code is as simple as #!/usr/local/bin/php ?php print Content-type: text/html\n\n ; print _POST IS . ; print_r($_POST) ; print .br\n ; print _GET IS . ; print_r($_GET) ; print .br\n ; print Enter your password:br\n ; print form method='post'\n ; print input type='password' name='pass'\n ; print br\ninput type='submit' value='ENTER'\n ; print /form\n ; exit ; ? but I only get _POST IS .Array ( ) . _GET IS .Array ( ) . Enter your password: ENTER even after submitting. Switching to form method='get' doesn't help anything. So how on earth does one get data into a CGI PHP script?

I'm assuming you compiled php with something like: configure --with-apxs=/yada/apxs [other options] What you need to do is recompile php with configure like: configure --[other options] Then make will build a cgi binary in sapi/cgi/php, relative to your build directory. If you want both versions (cgi and cli) you'll have to manually place the cgi version of php somewhere else than /usr/local/bin or name it something php_cgi.

OK. To save us the cost of rebuilding at this host, is there any way to
pass args to the CLI version of the script running as a CGI?
You might have getenv('QUERY_STRING') for GET data and *possibly* to
get the POST data you can do something like:
$fp = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');
while (!feof($fp) ) $buf .= fgets($fp, 1024);
fclose($fp);
Then of course you're going to have to parse the query_string and
post data in order to get the variable names and values..
parse_str(getenv('QUERY_STRING'), $_GET);

I found where our support crew had built the current version not quite six months ago, and that a lovely buildme file with our approximately 8 billion --with* params in it, so I just copied the tree, pulled apxs out, rebuilt, and copied the CGI php somewhere as you suggest. And now I have post data; yippee :-) Thanks also for your other response.
