Ok, I've heard the warnings on running PHP as CGI but honestly I've run into no problems as of yet. I have one script running as CGI and another running as Mod. They conflict session wise and don't want to be nice together. I know their is a way to set all your script to run as CGI with out adding the #!/usr/local/bin/php to the top or having to put them in my CGI folder. I've got my server guys looking for a tutorial on how to do this for me, they said it requires altering my .htaccess file and a custom copy of the php executable. I figured I'd ask here as well. My server guys sometimes don't like to get back with you on stuff such as this.
Thanks for the help ahead of time!
