PHP 4.0 Bug #5328: Unable to run php 4.0.1 or 4.0.1pl2 as CGI-BIN

From: ying@zippydesign.com Operating system: Redhat Linux 6.0 PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Unable to run php 4.0.1 or 4.0.1pl2 as CGI-BIN I compiled PHP 4.0.1 and PHP 4.0.1pl2 as a CGI bin, but every time I access a .php page I see: Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/cgi-bin/php on line 314 Even a simple <? echo "Hi" ?> script will cause this error, whereas with PHP 4.0.0 compiled with the same settings and using the same php.ini file, things were working. The configure switches used were: ./configure \ --disable-debug \ --enable-force-cgi-redirect \ --enable-discard-path \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-magic-quotes \ --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf \ --enable-bcmath \ --with-imap \ --with-mysql \ --with-pdflib=/usr/local \ --with-gdbm I used the php.ini-optimized file and made some changes, output from diff -b php.ini-optimized /etc/httpd/conf/php.ini shown below: 96,103d95 < < disable_functions = ; This direc tive allows you to disable certain < ; functions for security reasons.
