note 28237 added to features.commandline

I found that if I tried to use php in an already running cgi script, php would think it too was running in cgi 'mode' instead of cli 'mode' . More specifically I was getting an ambiguos "No input file specified" error from the php binary. The way I ended up fixing this issue was to create the perl script below , and call this 'wrapper' script instead of my own script directly. I'd imagine that deleting *all* of these environment variables is unnecessary, but I don't have the time to figure out which one(s) specifically can stay. Has anyone else found a *better* way of handling this condition? I'm running php 4.2.3 and wondering if perhaps this bug has gone fixed in a later version. #!/usr/bin/perl # runphp_ascli_incgi.pl # by Chris DeRose $cmndPhp = '/home/cderose/cli_test.php'; delete $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}; delete $ENV{'CONTENT_TYPE'}; delete $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}; delete $ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_ACCEPT'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_CONNECTION'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_HOST'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_PRAGMA'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_VIA'}; delete $ENV{'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'}; delete $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; delete $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}; delete $ENV{'REMOTE_PORT'}; delete $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}; delete $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'}; delete $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'}; delete $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'}; delete $ENV{'SERVER_ADDR'}; delete $ENV{'SERVER_ADMIN'}; delete $ENV{'SERVER_NAME'}; delete $ENV{'SERVER_PORT'}; delete $ENV{'SERVER_PROTOCOL'}; delete $ENV{'SERVER_SIGNATURE'}; delete $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'}; system ( $cmndPhp, @ARGV ); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28237 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28237 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28237
