Help with PHP CGI on Apache

[Olu]

I installed php as cgi. Can run php as commandline interpreter and works fine.

But, generates the following error while trying to serve a 8-line test.php page from apache.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/bin/php on line 11892

Any help!

I have tried all I could on the httpd.conf and php.ini file

Please post the content of your 8 line test script.

Alternatively you can use wget to execute php from command line. It also works with php compiled as module:

wget http://localhost:80/dir/executesome.php?var=abc

Another utility to execute php by command line is
