What is the relationship between CGI and the behavior of your scripts? Or 
are you using CGI to mean something other than "common gateway interface"?

I.e., why do you want to avoid HTML in the context of serving web pages?

That said, PHP works just fine without running as CGI. Beware that you 
properly clean up anything that loops over records - it's not intuitive in 
PHP when it actually disposes stuff you've pulled from the database, so 
looping over a few million records will likely fail.
