Workaround for PHP CGI Path?

[Anon]

My web host is running PHP as a CGI module and requires the PHP path (#!/usr/local/bin/php) at the top of each script.

Is there a workaround for this without having to insert the path line into every single script?

Hi,

Unfortunately not. If you have a generous host they can put the following in your vhost config

ScriptAlias /php/ "/usr/local/bin/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler "/php/php"

But your host is probably security-concious which is why they have configured php so you can only activate a script by having the hash-bang at the top of every page. It can also hault attacks on the server through holes in php.
