When PHP3 3.0.12 is compiled as a cgi it won't work.

When attempting to serve a .php3 file, php is invoked but instead of parsing the .php3 file, it tries to parse the executable!  It fails after a few hundred lines with a parsing error.

There are messages describing this problem with other versions of php3 and Apache on the mail list archive.  It seems not to have happened with php/FI

I tried various cgi compiles even turning off all security options which was mentioned in the mail list archive.  Nothing worked.  

When recompiled as an Apache module, it runs perfectly.

This is an installation problem on your end.  Please make sure your httpd.conf contains lines similar to:

            AddType  application/x-httpd-php3  .php3
            Action   application/x-httpd-php3  /cgi-bin/php

And that you have compiled your standalone binary using the --with-force-redirect flag.

Then put your php binary in your cgi-bin directory or any other ScriptAlias'ed directory in your document root and it should work just fine.
