To explain the difference:
mod_php:
<?php
//apache.php
//PHP as module
function ModPHP($file)
{
$output = ... //Process the file
return $output;
}
$file = GetRequestedFile();
switch(GetFileType($file))
{
case 'php':
echo ModPHP($file);
break;
case 'perl':
echo ModPerl($file);
break;
...
}
?>
CGI mode:
<?php
//apache.php
$file = GetRequestedFile();
switch(GetFileType($file))
{
case 'php':
echo system('/usr/bin/php.exe '. $file);
break;
case 'perl':
echo system('/usr/bin/perl '. $file);
break;
...
}
?>
That explains why mod_php is preferred.
