The retarded thing about this is that the EXACT SAME binary works fine when Apache calls it as a CGI. A simple /bin/sh CGI on both machines works correctly.

I'm out of clues.

This is caused by the fact that the #! is not inside <?php tags and thus isnt parsed by PHP, perhaps we can introduce a command line arg that ignores #! on the first line of a file perhaps

php -c

I dont think there is a special case yet atleast this certainly points to the fact there isnt.

it is in there.. My bad must be somthing else..

Here are the CGI's I'm using:

----
#!/opt/php/bin/php
<? phpinfo(); ?>
----

----
#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/html\\n\\n;
echo "foo!"
----

Now this might not help any, but I truss'd the web server process (Netscape, remember.) and here a few snippits output.

sh CGI.
read(23, " C o n t e n t - t y p e".., 8192)    = 31
send(17, " H T T P / 1 . 1   2 0 0".., 118, 0)  = 118
send(17, "\n f o o !\n", 6, 0)                  = 6

PHP CGI.
read(22, " X - P o w e r e d - B y".., 8192)    = 5120
send(17, " H T T P / 1 . 1   2 0 0".., 146, 0)  = 146
send(17, " # ! / o p t / p h p / b".., 5065, 0) = 5065

Graphic for PHP CGI page.
send(19, " H T T P / 1 . 1   2 0 0".., 146, 0)  = 146
send(19, " G I F 8 9 a82\0 C\0D5FF".., 2962, 0) = 2962

I can't tell if the web server is inserting this line or if PHP is. However, when I run these two CGIs on the command line, I never see this extra line. I guess I'm thinking that PHP does weird shit when it's not run in a shell.

Any other information I can provide?

Suspending this until a decision about what should be the correct behaviour from PHP should be.

Here's a quick and dirty fix.

18:39 <james``> oK open cgi_main.c
18:39 <james``> and goto line 720
18:40 <james``> See that else if .....
18:40 <james``> } else if (file_handle.handle.fp && file_handle.handle.fp!=stdin) {
18:40 <james``> make it read }
18:41 <james``> and then loose the } 11 lines down

This will be fixed when we split the commandline and cgi modules apart. moving back to analysed.

I have applied the patch to the current CVS.
