You are correct in your assumption that I have difficulty understanding the issues behind this change. After asking several times for an explanation, and after having gone over the archives to find some related discussion (and asking for pointers to that as well), I came to conclusion that this change is totally wrong. This change has nothing to do with fixing anything. It's breaking BC in a huge way, at the historical level, for the sake of a minor convenience for a very small group of users. Throwing lame excuses at it, like "it's evolution", doesn't cut it with me. I'm still at the same place. This is just wrong. It has nothing to do with stirring anything up. Regards Mike RobinsonWhat do you want then? For historical reasons you will allow us only to introduce total new functionality and bug fixes? No more improvements that will have any influence on some working systems out there? Then i'll answer stay where you are and do not do any version upgrade.... "evolution" is not an excuse here. We want to use PHP on the command line and many people will do also. And we make the command line usage as easy as possible. Even if that requires some mauals being updated and marking some bug reports as bogus.
Maybe phpsh would be a good idea for the name of the CLI? It wouldn't confuse ppl as much as php-cli

I'm really not that sure it makes sense to rename the CGI from php to php-cgi after such a long time. It's not as if we're breaking BC for the sake of adding very much needed functionality.
Anyway, I'm -0 for the change and +0 to find a more suitable name for the CLI :)
