However, when run as a CGI script, invoking php causes the php
interpreter to load the current file (ie, the sh script), which
obviously is ga ga.
How can I supress this behavior of interpreting the current file when
invoking PHP in a CGI script?
Thanks,

This uses one program to execute the same thing not 2 and is less
resource intensive.
obviously the example is serving as an example and not what this person
really wants to accomplish. short, precise questions should be
welcomed<http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#volume>.
it seems there doesn't exist an option to shut off PHP's obsession of
acting with such a large ego.
i can't find in the PHP C code where the interpreter decides to behave
differently depending if it is operating in a HTTP/CGI environment or in a
shell environment at a command-line terminal.
i tried creating an environment for PHP with the env command, but this
only keeps PHP from processing the file (for which it gives a "No input
file specified." error), and doesn't keep it from stealing the show and
responding to the HTTP/CGI request on its own. can't PHP tell something
is waiting at the door on standard input (stdin) and proces it?
