you should ask this question to your webhost in the first place. roughly all functions mentionend at http://php.net/manual/en/ref.apache.php won't be available anymore. it is not unlikely that the change is fully transparent to your scripts (read: no change of php-code needed). > Did they give any convincing reason for the change?

Maybe you should consider changing hosts. the cgi-sapi has a big advantage in a shared hosting environment: suexec - your php-scripts run with a distict uid for each customer. this is by far better than the half-baked crutch called safe-mode. the fact that the cgi-sapi's performance is worse than apache-sapi's shouldn't bother you as much as security. your webhost will decide how many customers (=virtual hosts) he puts on one machine anyway and that's by far more noticable than the differences between cgi-sapi/apache-sapi, IMHO. just my thoughts. messju > -- > Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz > Open Source Software Systems Integrators > * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * > ------------------------------------------ > Search the list archives before you post > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general > ------------------------------------------ > /* > One difference between a man and a machine is that a machine is quiet > when well oiled. > */ > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
