Forgive my ignorance. I am setting up googlecheckout for an oscommerce store which is runing on a shared linux server.
I have got to the point where I have to know whether php is executed as a separate CGI binary.
1) How do I check this? All I know is it works however the hosting company have set it up...
2) Can anyone point me to an idiots guide explaining the different set ups and their pros/cons (NB please don't point me to a site that tells me how to do it. I want to know why not how)
Thanks

So if server API is apache, does that mean it is or it isn't executed as a separate CGI binary?
I am sorry, I know nothing about unix - I am a website deisgner/programmer NOT a computer technician.
