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.

What does the phrase "as a module" mean?
Probably means that PHP is installed as a server module. The common
alternatives are CGI and FastCGI.
