Cool thanks Phil. Would it be appropriate to add more content to the PHP section about php5-cgi version php5-cli? I guess my thought is something about using php5-cgi and an example using PHP from the command line. <div>On 9/4/07, Phil Bull <<a href="mailto:philbull@gmail.com">philbull@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi Adam, On Tue, 2007-09-04 at 07:42 -0400, Adam Sommer wrote: > That's definitely a valid question, because the file /usr/bin/php5-cgi > that's installed with the php5-cgi file does allow you to execute PHP > scripts from the command line (found out after posting).

Either way thanks for considering it. Thanks, I've applied your patch to SVN trunk (revision 4321) - it does seem to be the more sensible option in the context of where it's used.
