CGI scripts are not designed to be executed on the command line using parameters like GET. which is why it's poorly supported. i do have it working under zeus and i have had it working in the past under apache, but it might have been due to a specific configuration method (it also was not CGI, but an SSI call to a php script with GET parameters... same idea, but different SAPI, which could be why it doesn't work for you anyway) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
