Re: Intro to PHP question

You have managed to confuse the isntallation process and the way Perl works with the way PHP works. If you want to write a custom CGI script for each and every PHP, and prepend #!/usr/local/bin/php, you just MIGHT be able to do it the way you're doing it... But don't do that. :-) Configure Apache to use PHP, and don't make uri.php executable and don't run it from the command line, and use something like: php -q uri.php when you want to run it from the command line.
