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

If i add the -q option it just says "No input files specified" under CGI and at the shell outputs as expected, minus the headers. The php.cgi script follows: #!/usr/local/bin/php <? phpinfo(); ?> That's all I have in the file; just used for testing. You're right, it does look like the file is being interpreted early, but I have no idea how/why. Also, if I remove the part at the top I get an internal server error, so it is not as if I don't need it. I really appreaciate all your advice. I am just completely bewildered here...I have been messing with this for way too long.
