Req #69460 [Dup]: Don't output shebang line

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69460&edit=1 ID: 69460 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: michaelduff2 at yahoo dot com Summary: Don't output shebang line Status: Duplicate Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Related to bug #60677. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-15 11:38:41] cmb@php.net This issue has indeed been reported several times. Maybe the best analysis so far is contained in #60677, so I'm marking this ticket as duplicate. Actually, I think the behavior is a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-15 09:31:51] michaelduff2 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ When a PHP script is executed via the command-line, the "shebang" (which looks like this:) #!/usr/bin/php Is not printed to the console. However, when executing a PHP script via a web server such as mod_php, etc., the line IS output to the browser, though I am sure this is very, very rarely (if ever) desirable behaviour. Removing this inconsistency would allow a single PHP script to operate in both "web page" and command-line modes depending on how it is executed. This feature request has previously been declared "Related To" Bugs #54588 and #64488, and then a "Duplicate" of #31563, which was then set to "won't fix" with a reason of "Windows XP reached end of support on April 8th, 2014" I believe that misses the point (as operating system is not inherently a factor) and, infact potentially makes this issue even /more/ important for cross-platform compatibility reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69460&edit=1
