PHP Module or CGI

[Micro]

Can i verify that php is installed as a module or cgi? If it is CGI can it be installed as a module as i believe the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] is only available when it is a module under apache.

Thanks

Could you not write an .htaccess file that overwrites what the server says, I think you can, but I think the server is running as a module. Don't quote me on that though.

Ok, I wasn't sure it gets changed alot, lol. Anywho I think the htaccess way can do this for you.

No it has to be running as a module

phpinfo

Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 PHP-CGI/0.1b

As you see PHP isnt listed, but PHP-CGI is so it would be a CGI, but as a module it wold look like this

Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 PHP/5.1.6

MicroProcessor: This should work fine for you. Mod_rewrite is installed. http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/http-auth-php-cgi.html

Thats what I was talkin about but I thought it was only an .htaccess code, theres a little more to it than I thought.
