PHP path shows on web page when script is executed

Hi all,

So this is an aesthetic question, the code all works, thank goodness.

The issue is that whenever I call/execute my php scripts, which all
require the path as the first line, i.e., #!/usr/pubsw/bin/php ... and
I want to know why that line shows up on the web browser?! (None of the
other code shows, except for whatever other html things that are
supposed to show).

My "workaround" at the moment is to have <body text="FFFFFF"> which
makes it white like the background, but there's gotta be a reason for
this, right? :-) Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kerri

You only require that line if you're running PHP as CGI. If it's showing,
you're not running as CGI, you're probably running as an Apache module, in
which case you should remove that line.

Nope, doesn't work if you remove the path... that was one of the first
things I tried... I wish it were a server I was admin on, I'm putting
this stuff through a cgi-bin on a university's server to run, and Lord
knows what they have set up.

I noticed that Message-ID:

ke*********@gmail.com contained the following:

I never used PHP in this mode but I was just wondering if it still works
if you comment it out?

Try putting a ob_end_clean(); at the beginning of the script.

Depends on server configuration. On my systems it's not needed.
