This is one of those questions that will get lot's of different answers
depending on your responders perspective. This is my view;
PHP can be executed as a CGI or as a MOD by Apache (or most web servers).
This means that Apache can load a fresh copy of PHP with each browser
request to the server
As I know, if you run PHP as a module for Apache is faster than running
as CGI. Also Python scripts can be run as a module(faster) or as CGI. The
main disadvantage for Python as a module is that you don't get all the
facilities of CGI.

PHP can be installed as either a CGI or an Apache module. There is
documentation on this in the PHP readme files.
Pretty much everything I read said that its always better to use the
Apache Module version. (apparently its much more stable and secure)

Traditionally php had two modes:
1. module
2. cgi/commandline
the cgi/commandline could be used interchangably.
Now there are three modes:
1. module
2. cgi
PHP comes in three major compilations: module, CGI, and CLI. The module
only works for web server (that I know of) and is the fastest way to
serve PHP based content from a web server. CGI can be run for either the
shell, or from the web server. There is a performance hit when run from
the web
CGI meaning perl?

I have a bulletin board which is incredibly active, but there is a PHP
sister to it.

Now that we know that by 'CGI' you mean 'perl' we're at least getting
*somewhere*. We don't really know what you mean, though, so I''ll see if
I can fill out the truth table for
Three advantages I like:
1- no more cgiwrap.
2- thus I can work in any directory and am not bound to cgi-bin
3- Sheer ease of coding. A lot easier to learn, it's open-source and newsgroups are
more helpful. Perl groups are less helpful, programmer centred and not newbie-friendly.

'being bound to cgi-bin' is a function of how the server is set up, not
'cgi' itself. I've worked on systems where anything ending in .cgi
was treated as a cgi
