As much as I understand the point of view that renaming the CGI version of PHP from php(.exe) to php-cgi(.exe) so that we don't have to type 'php-cli' perhaps isn't such a good idea, I am completely against changing it now. Changing it the first time is obviously causing problems, changing it again will really muddle the waters... (Okay, if you downloaded PHP between the months of XXX and XXXX, it's this... Otherwise, it's that... Unless...)
