Doc Bug #47744 Possible typo, CGI instead of CLI as it appears to work fine when using module

Description:
------------
The page: http://php.net/manual/en/apd.installation.php

Says the following:
"Make sure you have installed the CGI version of PHP"...

However I could not find any supporting documentation to back this up nor could I think of a reason why this would be necessary. Because of this I tried installing into my php install which was set up as an apache module and sure enough it worked without any problems.

I suspect that the manual meant to say CLI and not CGI.





Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: apd.installation

Just updating PHP version info

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

I removed the line saying that you should have CGI, as the documentation is very old and alot of new things have been added to php meanwhile that APD seems to support.

Thank you :)

I'll pass the word on to Kalle as I re-close this bug.

And as he'll say: you're welcome.  ;-)

Sorry! Maybe that dropdown should default to closed if it's already closed as reopening was of course not my intention.

Completely understandable, Gerry.  It wasn't directed as a jab at 
you.

And actually, default status on a closed project for developers is 
"Closed," so if it's otherwise on the reporting side, you've just 
discovered another reportable bug.  Lucky you!  ;-P

Thanks!

I know it wasn't a jab, just apologizing for the inconvenience.

Yeah the default is open for me. So do I report bugs about this bug tracker in the bug tracker itself, or will that cause the universe to close in on itself? If so, I can only see "PHP.net Website problem", is that the correct category?

I've briefly consulted with Stephen Hawking and Michio Kaku, and 
neither is entirely sure what happens when you report a bug on the 
bug reporter.... so keep your fingers crossed that we don't wind up 
in a parallel universe where Futurama watches us.

Oh, and yes: report it as a "PHP.net website problem."  When in 
doubt, use your best judgment (like that), because it can always be 
reclassified on our end as appropriate.

And thank you very, very much, once again!

LOL, that was good. :)

Before reporting the default status issue I double checked in a clean browser profile and the default was in fact "Closed". So I was wrong and there was no bug in the bugs.php.net form. I managed to track the problem down to an extension I had installed called "Lastpass". It auto fills my password and in doing so changes the status box to "Open". Don't know why, but it's their bug, so I'll be reporting it to them. :)

Cheers
