(Even if when we don't want it) Therefore, PHP should output anything out side of PHP tags.

This should definitely be addressed. As to the reporter: you can use php_sapi_name() and check if it returns 'cli'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-24 00:51:02] ganswijk at xs4all dot nl Description: ------------ Perhaps it's a good idea to let the server version of php ignore the first line of a script when it starts with '#!'. That way you can write a script that can serve as a batch script and as a server version of the script which is completely identical and not have the server version show the first line starting with '#!' in the browser screen. It would also be nice to know which criterium a script should use to determine if it's running as a server script or as a CLI script. Currently I'm considering using $_SERVER or using some test on $argv. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45612&edit=1
