Tom,
Thanks for the reply.
That's part of what I am trying to determine. I have all my development
systems using php without cgi. First I wanted to get some opinions as to
the correctness of using cgi. I believe they (ISP) will allow both ways.
I want to use cgi if it will help my site with security.
The next step is to determine what I will need to change to use cgi.
