Google tells me that it is an optional feature to run PHP as CGI,

Ah, from what I am reading, it sounds like that used to be the option,
and may still be a feature for older users... but (from what I
understand, which is not much) PHP 5 is CGI only:
"DreamHost currently allows several PHP configurations. In the user
Control Panel you can choose between PHP4 and PHP5 running as a CGI
application (with optional FastCGI support). While it's no longer
officially supported you currently still have the possibility to have
PHP running as an Apache module (mod_php).
Finally you have the option to compile your own custom PHP with the
exact version of PHP you wish and with any module you require."

Hmmm, I guess it sounds like I can setup things to use the Apache
module, but they make it sound so evil:
"If one of those is a show-stopper for you, you can easily switch to
running PHP as an Apache module and not CGI, but be prepared for a bunch
of potential security and ease-of-use issues!"

Looks like I have a ton of reading to do... Unfortunately I am more of a
designer than I am a system administrator... so not sure if messing with
PHP on my DH account is worth the headache. :(
I have just had bad experiences in past with PHP as CGI... Not fun.
Lol, well... Thanks Tijnema! I really appreciate your help on this one. ;)
Have a great day/night!
Cheers,
