I have been experimenting with CGI about half an year ago, as I did some experiments regarding its use to automate psch.thinBasic.com.

It worked well, as long as you use GET method of passing parameters.

But when I used POST method, CGI_GetQueryValue("name", %CGI_REQUEST_METHOD_POST) did not return anything and Gets() entered the infinite loop on the server.

In my opinion, ThinBASIC, with its string handling, is good candidate for solid PHP alternative, but it would require having person who could dedicate time to maintain the module. Ideally with previous long time CGI experience, which I am not.
