Can I use the same PHP code for module and CGI installation

Question

A simple and maybe stupid question:

Can I use the exact same PHP code no matter whether PHP is installed as a module or as a cgi binary? I understand that the processing is different in these two cases but does Apache take care of it for me altogether (provided I have made the right settings in httpd.conf) or does it have to be reflected in the actual PHP code somehow? Could I port code from a mod_php solution to a cgi-bin solution without changing it?

Answer 1

Unless the PHP version itself is different (5.4, 5.3, etc), the same block of code will run the same regardless of the webserver software installed.
