PHP 4.2.3 compiled on a FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE box with the following options:
	--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/php.standalone \
	--disable-pear \
	--enable-discard-path \
	--with-readline=/usr \
	--enable-versioning \
	--with-regex=system \
	--with-gd=/usr/local \
	--enable-gd-native-ttf \
	--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local \
	--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
	--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
	--with-zlib \
	--with-mysql=/usr/local \
	--enable-trans-sid \
	--prefix=/usr/local

Apache is configured to use PHP as both a module (which works fine) and a CGI (see below)
        ## for mapserver & PHP as a CGI
        ScriptAlias /cgi/ /usr/local/share/apache/cgi/
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-cgi .phm
        Action application/x-httpd-php-cgi /cgi/php

When the following is opened in Apache, I get the following error "Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/share/apache/cgi/php on line 3713"

                                                                                                                                   
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">                                                    
<html>
<head>                                                       
        <title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>                                                            
<?php echo phpinfo();?>
</body>
</html>

I've gotten this error on 2 separate FreeBSD servers.  I use the PHP4 port in the lang ports collection.

PHP works fine from the commandline.  It just fails under apache.

As usual, it seems that nobody is interessted in these problems with PHP as CGI, its the same like this: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18371 , its a general issue.

Recompiled using the same script and now get the following when the page is shown in Apache.

nothing else was changed.

I think the message "No feedback was provided for this bug for over 2 weeks,..." is absurd and may represent a bug in bug-track.  I provided the feedback as requested.

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.

fixed in CVS as of today.
