Re: #!/path/to/php at top of output from CGI

Hmm.. I tried a new extension that shouldn't have anything associated with it (.pcgi). Also, perl/C work under the .cgi extension. Stranger yet, if I do: ~/www$ ./php.cgi > out the file 'out' has no '#!/usr/local/bin/php' in it. However if I go to the browser and execute the CGI thru the webserver it still puts that at the top (as if it was plaintext, like you said, because it is outside the <??>). Then, the phpinfo() goes right below it as if nothing was wrong (it outputs fine, with all the information about php and my environment). I have the module installed, but I don't think that should make a difference right? Thanks very much, it is sort of important that I figure out how to get the CGI to work.
