I am using Solaris 2.7 and I would like to install PHP on my server. However, I am not running Apache right now, instead it is running NCSA. I have installed mysql as well and would like to use the persistent database connectivity. Do I need to be the administrator to install PHP?

Another question: Can PHP work with CGI? For example, if an HTML form is submitted to the backend via cgi post method, can the same data (in the same form) be send to databases (e.g. mysql) via PHP?

At the moment there is no PHP module for NCSA, and you need to have modular PHP to use persistent DB connections.

You can't have two targets for a form, but you could modify the cgi to call the PHP script passing all the variables, but it would be easier to do the opposite.

Thank you. How about if I don't use persistent database connection? Do I still need Apache?

You need to have some sort of webserver to serve PHP documents.
