You do lose some functionality using PHP as CGI rather than module:
Persistent DB Connections, :(

Jim: I don't know much (enough) about PHP, but from what I vaguely know,
PHP methods seem like a logical step.
Hmm... I'm having to setup a PHP web environment for the students next
semester, and have elected to run it as a CGI application (tie into
existing suid security arcitecture). I'm told there won't be any
functionality
loss except, just a bit of performance (?).
If we didn't care about persistance of the PHP engine, it would
be a trivial task to create a PHP method object - just a small
python stub using the CGI libraries to call PHP.
Or even more trivial - I could hack my existing Logger product to
create a dtml-php tag, so you would be able to preprocess your
PHP code with DTML tags or embed PHP output in DTML for
standard_html_header
etc. (Is that my foot bleeding?). The standard response to a dtml-python
tag is that it would make it too PHP like, so dtml-php seems very
appropriate :-)
And then the next step is to import IMP and other PHP apps into Zope
land...
