If i compile PHP (4.x incl. CVS) as CGI (with --enable-discard-path) and want to run it with Apache2.0.39 PHP allways displays an parse error.
I tried it without --enable-discard-path and it works.

Does this happen with Apache 1.3.26 ? And what is the script like this parse error comes with?
 [2002-07-16 16:28 UTC] janus at area319 dot de 
I didn't tried it with Apache1.3.26.
The Script that produces the error is: "<? phpinfo() ?>", but all other scripts return the same.

exactly how did you configure Apache2? (what lines you added/modified in httpd.conf)
 [2002-07-17 04:24 UTC] janus at area319 dot de 
Action php-script /cgi-bin/php
AddHandler php-script .php
-- or --
ScriptAlias /x-mod-httpd-php4 "/here/is/my/bindir"
Action php-script /x-mod-httpd-php4/php
AddHandler php-script .php

I tried it with Apache1.3.26, same error.

I've set up Apache 1.3.26 with php and suexec.

php: ./configure --enable-force-cgi-redirect

This works if it's configured as i said... but this one is wrong:
_ENV["SCRIPT_NAME"]  =   /x-mod-httpd-php4/php

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

don't use discard path.

but really, fixed in cvs.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.


I do beleive you should not have any configuration for PHP in httpd.conf when you use --enable-discard-path?  See http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.cgi-bin.php Case 4.  If properly configured in this situation, you should not see the self parsing bug.  If --enable-discard-path is not what you really want, use --enable-force-cgi-redirect with the configuration you provided a long time ago.
