Web host has PHP 5 "as a module"...what' s that?

I'm learning PHP and in the process of choosing a good web hosting
site. One that I'm interested in has PHP 5 as a module. Others say
simply that they offer PHP 5.

What does the phrase "as a module" mean?

Thanks for any help.

Probably means that PHP is installed as a server module. The common
alternatives are CGI and FastCGI.

Is there an advantage to either of these methods, or is it simply a matter of style?

Hi, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.X. I'm writing command-line PHP scripts for the first time. I get the messages below. What do they mean? Are these operating system library modules, or something in PHP that I don't have? Do I need to install more Linux packages? Or adjust PHP in some way?

I used these codes to provide a default "Save As" filename for browsers: Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName); Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"; But if there are space chars in the file name, FireFox would split the recommed file name, and use the first part only. For example, if fileName=="aaa bbb.watever", then the "Save As" dialog will take "aaa"

Hi,all. I see from "http://docs.python.org/tut/node11.html" that "Name spaces are created at different moments and have different lifetimes. The namespace containing the built-in names is created when the Python interpreter starts up, and is never deleted. The global namespace for a module is created when the module definition is read in; normally, module namespaces also last until the interpreter quits." So can I "delete" the namespace...
