[PHP] cgi bug workaround

2001-10-04 Thread James Peter Gregory

hi all,

I've been asked to do some work on some servers where php can only run as
cgi. Unfortunately it seems that php has a bug which means that

  #!/usr/local/bin/php

gets printed out at the top of each page if I do this.

Are there any workarounds for this? Is it fixed in the cvs versions?

thanks,

James.

I understand that. Unfortunately I'm not the one administrating this
computer so we're stuck with having to find a work around for the problem.
That is, I can't change the apache config at all. They'll only let us use
cgi.

but thanks all the same.
