note 78203 added to install.windows.apache2

If you install PHP as an Apache CGI binary, you can add: AddHandler cgi-script .php into Apache httpd.conf, and add shebang line to every PHP scripts like: #!php <?php phpinfo(); ?> . But adding shebang line has a disadvantage that if you decided to install PHP as an Apache module afterwards, then the shebang line WILL appear in the web page. In fact, you do NOT need to add shebang line to every PHP script even if you install PHP as an Apache CGI binary, because you can add: ScriptInterpreterSource Registry-Strict into Apache httpd.conf, and make the registry file and merge it like: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php\Shell\ExecCGI\Command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\php-cgi.exe\"" . Then you will NOT need to change the PHP scripts which do not contain shebang line. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 123.202.148.251 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78203 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78203/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78203/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78203/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78203/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78203/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78203/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78203 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78203 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
