RE: [PHP] #!/usr/bin/php appears in the output

I don't believe there is any way to do this. On the command line, the first line needs to tell the shell what the interpreter is. When running from the web server, the first line needs to tell the PHP interpreter to start parsing (or it will just dump the output as text). You could forgo the #! and just call the script by running /usr/bin/php when on the command line. That's the only thing I can think of that will work for sure. Maybe you could get something to work by having "# <?php" as your first line (the shell will ignore it as a comment but the interpreter running in the web server will not). ============================ Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948
