Re: php Problems

yes its baffling me. I have perl too. That runs fine under apache but requires a 'print "Content-type: text/html\n";' or the browser throws a wobbler there too. The error under pws mentions a http header and I thought that was the "Content-type: text/html\n"; which is why I included it in the php script Matthew Ballard <Matthew@TheAirport.com> wrote in message news:5.0.2.1.2.20001210140043.01c1f1f8@mail.earthlink.net... > I'm not sure why you are getting that specific Header, but for your > information, as long as the web server is configured to handle PHP files > automatically (using either CGI binary in cgi-bin, or using the module > version), you don't need that first line (it would just be output by the > browser), and you can't send Content-type's using echo or print, because > upon encountering the first line of text or an echo/print, it automatically > send out a Content-type header of text/html.
