Hi,

what has happened with FastCGI support on the 4.3 version? On changelog I saw that SAPI/FastCGI was discontinued. But when I do phpinfo() it reports "Server API : CGI/FastCGI"
and when I go with "php -v" the answer is:
PHP 4.3.0 (cgi-fcgi), Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies

and when I go with "php -h" there's an option : 
  -b <address:port>|<port> Bind Path for external FASTCGI Server mode

But when I do "php -b localhost:5000" it says there's no "b" command.

I don't know if this is a real bug or something else. But what's up with FastCGI? Was it really discontinued? 

If so, where can I find good alternatives to FastCGI and the reasons that lead to this?

thankz
Fernando

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

OF COURSE it does imply a bug in php itself,
if it doesn't recognize it's own options!
The bug is having cgi_main lacking a b in OPTSTRING.
This is apparently fixed in 4.3.2
(but still not working for some other reason ...)

Still not fixed in PHP 4.3.4 !
At least in the latest stable version for Win32 (both e installer version, and the manually installed ZIP version)
