execute ph script

[charly]

Greetings,

I need to execute a php script in my shell so :

touch test.php
chmod +x test.php
edited the file, inserted the following lines :

#! /usr/bin/php -q
$a = 0;
echo $a;
../test.php

Gives me the following output :

$a = 0;
echo $a;

What did I forget ??

many thx !

The php tags. Without them the contents are taken as text/html.

$ nl test.php
1 #! /usr/bin/php
2 <?php
3 $a = 0;
4 echo $a;
5 ?>

Great, I didn't know they were required, thought it worked like in perl.

Many many thx !
