Description:
------------
If you use any PHP version above 4.2.3, including a PHP file from within a SSI file using '#exec cgi' or '#include virtual' will fail and either result in the raw source code of the PHP script or in machine code.

If you go back to PHP 4.2.3 using '#exec cgi' to include a PHP file works perfectly.

This is on a Windows 2000 server using IIS 5 and all the latest service packs and patches.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Lines from the SSI file (.shtml) :

<!--#exec cgi="test.php"-->
<!--#virtual include="test.php"-->


Expected result:
----------------
Expected result : The output of the PHP script in HTML (the output is correct when you run it directly).

Actual result:
--------------
Actual result : Either the source code from the PHP script (virtual include) or machine code (exec cgi).

Are you using ISAPI module or CGI binary version of PHP?

What is "cgi.fix_pathinfo" set to in php.ini (if you use PHP CGI binary)

Did you update your php.ini with the new php.ini-dist from the PHP 4.3.3 distribution?

I am using the CGI binary version. cgi.fix_pathinfo is default (zero).

I found the problem, the php.ini that was loaded was for 4.2.3, the 4.3.3 version was installed but to an incorrect location. After setting cgi.force_redirect to 0 (IIS) and moving the php.ini to the correct location it worked.

So this is all user error. Thank you for your help.
