I apologize for going a bit to fast: I assumed you wanted to use
php/mapscript. If you only want to use mapserver (as a cgi for example,
or using perl/mapscript or other interfaces) you won't need to have php
as a cgi. But if you want to use php/mapscript, which enables you to use
mapserver from php, you must have php as a cgi. If this gives you
trouble, with some tricks it is very well possible (I tried it myself)
to have php as a dso for normal php applications, and as a cgi
especially for mapscript applications. For more info you should have a
look at the mapscript page of dmsolutions. The php-cgi question is
answered here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI
Again, if you don't want to use php/mapscript, please don't bother about
this.

Vincent Schut.
