Description:
------------
The behavior of PHP when used via shebang line in a script is different from using it directly:

# cat > ~/test.php
#!/usr/bin/php -n -ddate.timezone=Europe/Lisbon
<?php
exit(42);

# chmod +x ~/test.php

# ~/test.php ; echo $?
Usage: php [options] [-f] <file> [--] [args...]
[...]
  -d foo[=bar]     Define INI entry foo with value 'bar'
[...]
0

However, when used directly from the command line, the space after "-d" appears to be optional:

# php -n -ddate.timezone=Europe/Lisbon -r 'echo date("H:i");'
07:15
# php -n -d date.timezone=Europe/Lisbon -r 'echo date("H:i");'
07:15


Please make the invocation via shebang behave the same in this regard (accept "-dfoo=bar")

Well, it's actually worse than that: "-d" cannot be used in a shebang line altogether.

This fails also:
#!/usr/bin/php -n -d date.timezone=Europe/Lisbon

Workaround:
# cat /usr/local/bin/php-noini
/usr/bin/php -n -d Europe/Lisbon "$@"

Sorry, this is apparently a limitation of the shebang handling, where no argument splitting is performed.

Therefore, this bug is invalid.

But please get bug 52496 fixed, so this does not fail silently.
