A patch to have CUPS compiled with /usr/bin/php-cgi

Description of problem:
CUPS uses /usr/bin/php to run php pages as this excerpt from error_log shows:

   I [02/Sep/2008:17:10:11 +0300] commptr="/usr/share/doc/cups-1.2.12/whoami.php"
   I [02/Sep/2008:17:10:11 +0300] Started "/usr/bin/php" (pid=21289)

Under RHEL4 this was fine because it was the cgi flavor:
   # /usr/bin/php -v
   PHP 4.3.9 (cgi) (built: Jun 26 2006 09:46:58)
   Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
   Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies

Under RHEL5 this is wrong because it is the cli flavor:
   # /usr/bin/php -v
   PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Sep 12 2007 11:11:52)
   Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
   Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

instead /usr/bin/php-cgi is the correct executable to run:
   # /usr/bin/php-cgi -v
   PHP 5.1.6 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Sep 12 2007 11:09:50)
   Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
   Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-1.2.4

How reproducible:
Always.

Additional info:
A patch to have CUPS compiled with /usr/bin/php-cgi is attached.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2009-05-13 12:47:27 UTC
Reverted due to incorrect handling of CGI output that is not line-based (STR #3194).

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2009-06-01 15:12:43 UTC
This has now had a fix checked in upstream (untested here).
