EZ not works on CGI-PHP and Wrapper

My host uses ENSIM and it uses a wapper to run PHP as CGI with the identity of the user not the one from Apache (tipical nobody)

In this situation any url in the form
http://site.com/script.php/something/somethig

Causes internal server Error. (I supose due to the wrapper changing the paths)

So Exponential should use a traditional link structure based on parameters like script.php?parameter=value

In order to keep the Search engine free - URL?s the only requiremente is using Apache?s Mod Rewrite in an .htaccess file like does "Gallery"
gallery.sourceforge.net

Most hosting companies are using wrappers + CGI PHP instead of PHP Apache Module configure with safe mode so the security is bigger, and there are no problems with PHP disabled functions on safe mode.
