i just don't understand why the source code from php.net would not compile
the same on bsd, sun or rh box.. why it HAS to be an rpm to have the php
cli working. what's wrong with the install script checking for your os and
then installing the correct cli?

i the problem is that the the php scripts run by cron are identical on
both machines - as are the php 4.3.0 sources - but the ones ported over to
the RH8 machine are giving me this error:
test code:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?
$db = mysql_connect(localhost, "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("mymaindb",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM theTable",$db);
printf("l1: %s\n", mysql_result($result,0,"some_column"));
?>

this code works perfectly fine on the bsd machine. on the rh8 i get this
cli output (both installed the SAME way and from the SAME source 4.3.0):
# ./ratLL.php
./ratLL.php: line 2: ?: No such file or directory
./ratLL.php: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./ratLL.php: line 3: ` $db = mysql_connect(localhost, "user", "pass");'
i posted a week ago this code. i was told that the cli compiled on the rh8
is not a "redhat one". so my problem question is why? why wouldn't the
install script detect the os as RH8 and compile the "correct redhat" cli..
