I guess it would help if you were more explicit on what you mean by 
"much worse"... is it a color problem, font rendering problem, antialias 
vs no-antialias problem, ??? Perhaps post two sample maps for us to see 
and maybe someone will have an idea?

My first suggestions would be:

1- For your tests, make sure the CGI and the PHP versions both use the 
default output format and don't try to change it (via URL or scripting).

2- Did you compile and/or install multiple versions/copies of MapServer 
on your server? Make sure both the CGI and your PHP use the exact same 
version from the same build of MapServer. Different compile options 
could explain a difference in rendering quality.
