Anyone familiar with using PHP as CGI? I've just about completed a good sized project for work, all the PHP is formatted to run pretty universally across versions of PHP4 and up, although I am using superglobals, all the code is usable with register_globals off. Everything has been developed and tested under Linux with PHP 4.1 and running as an Apache module. The server they want to move the scripts to is running Linux, PHP as CGI and it's V4.0.6. Any thoughts on problem areas? Obviously superglobals won't work with that version but are there any 'gotchas' about working in CGI mode vs Apache mod?
