Bug #14170 Updated: #!/path/to/php shows up on every php script

ID: 14170 Updated by: sander Reported By: jgarrett@byu.edu Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux RH 7.1 PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2001-11-22 New Comment: No, the point is if you run a script as a conventional CGI-script (just like you can run shell scripts through CGI), the line with #!/path/to/php shows up... Normally, if you run PHP as CGI via Apache, some lines in httpd.conf say that *.php should be parsed through /usr/local/bin/php It's not necessary to use that. Alternatively, you could use #!/path/to/php if the server has (plain) CGI enabled. It's usefull i.e. if you have built a dev-version of PHP somewhere and don't want to install it, but just use it for a few scripts to test new functionality. And about magic stuff: the patch which hides #! when running via the command line, has already been commited... isn't that magic too? Workaround: enable output buffering in your php.ini and start your scripts with ob_end_clean();.

I understand, some kind of portability probably (running it from CMD and CGI) but this is some dirty magic stuff IMHO. Its just a text file which gets processed and when it starts with #! then it starts with #! and therefore the output shall be #!. However, I've an open mind for that :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-22 10:54:56] jmoore@php.net Sounds like a misconfiguration to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-22 10:50:49] sander@php.net Nope, this bug only shows up if you run it through CGI. Running from the command-line works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-22 10:35:43] sander@php.net Nope, this bug only shows up if you run it through CGI.
