>&#13;    The default is to build PHP as a CGI program.  This creates a
    commandline interpreter, which can be used for CGI processing, or
    for non-web-related PHP scripting.  If you are running a web
    server PHP has module support for, you should generally go for
    that solution for performance reasons.  However, the CGI version
    enables Apache users to run different PHP-enabled pages under
    different user-ids.  Please make sure you read through the <A
HREF="security.html"
>Security chapter</A
> if you are going to
    run PHP as a CGI.
   </P

>&#13;    As of PHP 4.3.0, some important additions have happened to PHP.  A new
    SAPI named CLI also exists and it has the same name as the CGI binary.
    What is installed at <TT

    configure line and this is described in detail in the manual section
    named <A

>&#13;     If you have built PHP as a CGI program, you may test your build
     by typing <B

     to test your build.  This way you may catch a problem with PHP on
     your platform early instead of having to struggle with it later.

     it takes longer then the 30 seconds allowed. This is because the
