PHP CGI on per-directory basis

How can I run PHP as CGI on a per-directory basis while keeping it running as an Apache module for the rest of a site?

I normally prefer using mod_php over CGI, so I've never actually had to do this before, but I've now got a situation where I need CGI for one particular application. Converting the entire domain to CGI will break my existing code. The following, in .htaccess in the directory in question, has no effect; phpinfo() still reports that the server API is Apache, not CGI:

RemoveHandler .php
AddHandler cgi-script .php

Thanks.

I'm ignorant of such things, but it seems to me that if it isn't possible to do what you want, perhaps you could setup a fully-hosted subdomain with PHP running in CGI mode.

That's my last resort move, but I'd really prefer to not go that route. Before I do that I may just modify the other sections of the site (it's not a big site) so that they run under CGI and deal with the inconveniences. Bleh.

This has proven to be a difficult thing to google for.

Problem solved. All I need is one line in .htaccess:

AddType php-cgi .php

That's all it was? If only all problems could be solved that easily.
