Description:
------------
Perhaps it's a good idea to let the server version of php ignore the first line of a script when it starts with '#!'.

That way you can write a script that can serve as a batch script and as  a server version of the script which is completely identical and not have the server version show the first line starting with '#!' in the browser screen.

It would also be nice to know which criterium a script should use to determine if it's running as a server script or as a CLI script. Currently I'm considering using $_SERVER or using some test on $argv.

This issue is still current for 5.4.3.

This should definitely be addressed.

As to the reporter: you can use php_sapi_name() and check if it returns 'cli'.

Server version of PHP is supposed to be a embedded script. (Even if when we don't 
want it) Therefore, PHP should output anything out side of PHP tags.
