Description:
------------
The portion of the PHP manual entitled "Using PHP from the command line" states that "The CGI SAPI supports the CLI SAPI behaviour by means of the -C switch when run from the command line.":

http://us2.php.net/features.commandline

However, "php -h" says of the -C switch, "Do not chdir to the script's directory".

Further, running php -Cr "echo 'test';" results in an error saying that the -r switch doesn't exist, even though it should if it were acting like the cli version.

So..  the doc would appear to be wrong.

This note is written in "The CLI SAPI does not change the current directory to the directory of the executed script" part. So it's right - you can achieve this CLI behavior in CGI with -C switch.

I changed "the CLI SAPI" to "this CLI SAPI" for your convenience.
