Hans,

Thanks for the info. For the most part, it seems there isn't too much to 
be concerned about (I won't be using any of the Apache specific functions).

What about setting my own php.ini file? I'd like to turn off 
magic_quotes and register_globals (and probably a few other things). 
Should I just code around this or can I safely overwrite the php.ini 
file that is in cgi-bin?

Jeff
P.S. The interesting thing, when I try to view the php.ini file that is 
in cgi-bin, I only see a few settings.
