Good day. That's not a comment. The #! at the start tells the shell to execute that as the interpreter for the script.
Are you sure that you typed it in correctly? Did you install the PHP standalone application? Is it installed in that location? Did you set the file as executable? Did you try to run the script? What error did you receive? ============================ Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948 -----Original Message----- From: Michael R @ Spy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:28 PM To: Darren Gamble; php Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP and CGI I made some time to test, and no dice.
