<h2 class="title">CLI and CGI</h2>
<p class="para">
In PHP 5 there were some changes in CLI and CGI filenames. In PHP 5, the
CGI version was renamed to <var class="filename">php-cgi.exe</var> (previously
<var class="filename">php.exe</var>) and the CLI version now sits in the main
directory (previously <var class="filename">cli/php.exe</var>).
</p>
<p class="para">
In PHP 5 it was also introduced a new mode:
<var class="filename">php-win.exe</var>. This is equal to the CLI version, except
that php-win doesn't output anything and thus provides no console (no "dos
box" appears on the screen). This behavior is similar to php-gtk.
</p>
<p class="para">
In PHP 5, the CLI version will always populate the global
<var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.argv.php" class="classname">$argv</a></var> and <var class="varname"><a href="reserved.variables.argc.php" class="classname">$argc</a></var> variables regardless
of any <var class="filename">php.ini</var> directive setting. Even having
<a href="ini.core.php#ini.register-argc-argv" class="link">register_argc_argv</a> set to
<i>off</i> will have no affect in CLI.
