The "php-cli" RPM provides all the functionality of the "php" RPM, but does so via CGI/CLI/FastCGI. It should provide "php" so that RPMs such as "gallery2" install without requiring an httpd-specific version of PHP (which in turn requires "httpd"). Use case is for "lighttpd" users.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I'm not convinced about this. If lighttpd etc require a PHP CGI interface, they should require php-cgi, not php, surely?
