Topic awaiting preservation: PHP - CGI?

Is it possible to run php-cgi along with PHP installed as a module?

The reason I ask is that I have a site done in php but our host will not enable ftp through php. They said that if I wanted, I could compile php as cgi and enable it myself. But, I don't want to have to convert every page that is already done.

Thanks in advance!

FWIW Gentoo allows both mod_php and CGI support... and it'd be retarded if you couldn't build support for both. I can't say I've personally done it, though, but I assume someone else will stop by and do so.

Sure, though you're probably stuck with changing your file extensions to
something else than .php (I don't think you can redefine them
once they've been assigned to a module).

Otherwise,
the appropriate Add-file-handlers in .htaccess should do the trick.

OK. So you are saying that myfile.php will be parsed by mod_php rather than the cgi right? Hmm....I'll have to look at the file-handlers for .htaccess. Not sure what I would name them if not PHP LOL.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to give it a run through on a linux box I have local to see what happens before I break our site

And just a side note on this wonderful hosting company that our HO uses...they have Register Globals On and they won't add support for FTP via PHP...
