Yes, both CGI SAPI and Apache-Module-SAPI should be buildable and installable by the mod_php4 port (or perhaps a cgi-php slave-port?). The link above on php.net states that CGI and CLI versions both are built by default but depending on the exact ./configure-options only one is installed in $PREFIX/bin/. Should cli-php and cgi-php then be exclusive ports? > Course then someone has to decide: when to install PEAR, if the two separate > binaries will have different names, what ini file(s) will they read, etc. Someone has to decide, but it seems the most easy solution is cli-php, because it only has a subset of dependencies of the mod_php4 port.
