Re: Need PHP on Win2000 Pro

When I make console scripts for *nix in PHP I have the shebang line and after that <?php #!/usr/bin/php -q <?php ... ?> Is PHP as powerful as perl on the console area yet? //Simon John A. Thomason wrote:

Thanks for your help. Also, I checked out your tutorial and Apache and PHP. I have Apache installed, and I am using it for backend work. I have been using Perl, but have discovered PHP, and want to be able to use it on the command line. Another email told me the solution.

Replace the shebang line with <?PHP         and end the script with    ?>

And that is how simple the fix was, and now I am going to rewrite all of my batch files and perl scripts using PHP. I do need a little more understanding of Apache and will be studying your Apache tutorial. Thanks again. John A.

I have a tutorial that shows you how to setup Apache with PHP on Windows (its not OS specific, but it can be applied to any Windows version).
