Subject: RE: [users@httpd] PHP on Apache 2


According to http://es2.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php (just under
'Installing PHP on Windows with Apache 1.3.x' title) :

"There are two ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 1.3.x on Windows. =
One
is to use the CGI binary (php.exe), the other is to use the Apache =
module
DLL [...]It is worth noting here that now the SAPI module has been made =
more
stable under Windows, we recommend it's use above the CGI binary, since =
it
is more transparent and secure."

" ... By using the CGI setup, your server is open to several possible
attacks."

That's related with an Apache 1.3.x installation under Windows, don't =
know
if its applicable under Linux too. About Apache 2.0.x IIRC I've readed =
some
time ago that Apache docs recommended the use of PHP DLL files instead =
CGI,
for security and performance reasons.
