Bug description: PHP 4.3.1 + no longer compatible with O'reilly WebSite Pro 3.0
Description:
------------
Greetings, PHP
I have spent the last few days trying to find a successful combination
that will work with O'reilly WebSite 3.0 as well as PHP 4.3.0 does.
Versions 4.3.1 and higher (including 5 beta) seems to be no longer
compatible with this web server software.
I use the CGI configuration w/o cgi redirect on two other identical severs
- which works seamlessly with PHP 4.3.0 and O'reilly WebSite 3.0.
After failed attempts with versions 4.3.1+ on this new server, I tried
this same PHP 4.3.0 configuration and again works perfectly.
But now with 4.3.1 + all I receive is the "No Input File Specified"
messages or page not found is some cases.
I'm only presenting the 3 notes below to prove incompatibility... please
do not take them as support questions or a false bugs reports; I do
realize they would be if submitted separately as such.
Solutions Tried for 4.3.1 +
1. I tried the CLI folder's php.exe, which works past the default php.exe
only to the point were the simplest echo of "hello world" needs to have a
line break before any PHP or html code - or you receive a CGI 500 error.
2. So I place a line break before any code to get the script to output
properly - but of course I then can not use sessions. (headers already
sent message).
3. I then tried the isapi extension configuration - which too does not
work with sessions on WebSite Pro 3 - due to the fact that the
session_start function creates a new session file on every page refresh.
This new lack of compatibility may or may not be a bug, but I feel it
needs to be professionally addressed by the PHP staff. Even a notice on
the web site, though heart breaking, would suffice.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?PHP
echo 'hello world';
?>
</body>
</html>
Expected result:
----------------
Hello World
Actual result:
--------------
: : : : : hello world : : Content-length: 589
500 Server Error
The server encountered an error and was unable to complete your request.
Message: CGI output from C:/WebSite/htdocs/test.php contained no blank
line separating header and data (most likely a broken CGI program)
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@wisesoftwareinc.com
and inform them of the time the error occured, plus anything you know of
that may have caused the error.
