Describe the bug
I was trying to run CI4 through cli, and it didn't seem to be working... So after a long debugging session, I've found out that CI4 wasn't recognizing it as a cli execution, and the routing was failing because of this. The reason was, that if CI4 is called by crontab, the PHP_SAPI constant will return 'cgi-fcgi' instead of 'cli' which is checked against in Common.php fn is_cli()

CodeIgniter 4 version
4.1.1

Affected module(s)
Which package or class is the bug in, if known.

Expected behavior, and steps to reproduce if appropriate
Expected to work the same way, as when I run it from cli

Context

• OS: CentOS 7
• Web server Apache 2
• PHP version 7.4

When running inside the cron, can you check the value of the TERM env variable?

var_dump(getenv('TERM'));

Will check later today when I get a bit of free time

[pixobit]

it returns "bool(false)"

Last checks to see if CGI can be safely regarded as CLI.

var_dump(! isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']));
var_dump(! isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']));
var_dump(count($_SERVER['argv']) > 0);
var_dump(! isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']));
