The Apache module runs faster and has smoother integration with the web server. The CGI version allows you to run in different uid contexts, so that users on a shared/multiuser system can be prevented from seeing and messing with each other's files. There are scads of differences, but these seem to be the most salient for most people. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
