No, the point is if you run a script as a conventional CGI-script (just like you can 
run shell scripts through CGI), the line with #!/path/to/php shows up...
Normally, if you run PHP as CGI via Apache, some lines in httpd.conf say that *.php 
should be parsed through /usr/local/bin/php
It's not necessary to use that. Alternatively, you could use #!/path/to/php if the 
server has (plain) CGI enabled. It's usefull i.e. if you have built a dev-version of 
PHP somewhere and don't want to install it, but just use it for a few scripts to test 
new functionality.

And about magic stuff: the patch which hides #! when running via the command line, has 
already been commited... isn't that magic too?


Workaround: enable output buffering in your php.ini and start your scripts with 
ob_end_clean();.

Err ... whats the point of using this in a CGI?

I understand, some kind of portability probably (running it from CMD and CGI) but this 
is some dirty magic stuff IMHO. 

Its just a text file which gets processed and when it starts with #! then it starts 
with #! and therefore the output shall be #!.

However, I've an open mind for that :)

Sounds like a misconfiguration to me.

Nope, this bug only shows up if you run it through CGI. Running from the command-line 
works fine.

#!/home/mfischer/php4/bin/php -q
<?
  echo "test\n";
?>

mfischer@debian:~$ ./test.php

mfischer@debian:~$ php -f test.php
