Re: Automatically adding #! to all PHP scripts

Something like this may do it. *********** from php.ini auto_prepend_file string Specifies the name of a file that is automatically parsed before the main file. The file is included as if it was called with the include() function, so include_path is used. The special value none disables auto-prepending. *********** So if you add: #!/usr/local/php5/bin/php to a file called, say, cgi_start.php then set that in php.ini with: auto_prepend_file cgi_start.php According to the php docs, that should be included at the start of each file automatically. Never tried it, as I have no need for it at the moment. If you are running php as a CLI interpreter, you should check out the section in the manual on security, when you have time. IV. Security 22.

To: php-install@lists.php.net From: Jesse Santana <jsantana@csulb.edu> Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] Automatically adding #! to all PHP scripts I have just finished installing Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.2 on a Solaris 10 machine. I've compiled PHP to run as a CLI to take advantage of Apache's suexec feature. Everything appears to work just fine but requires me to add in a #!/usr/local/php5/bin/php to all my PHP scripts in order to get them to execute properly. Is there a way to get this added into my PHP scripts automatically? A php.ini variable perhaps?
