Modify HTTP-Header in PHP running as CGI

znum

hi!

Is it possible to use the header-Function to modify the HTTP-header with PHP running as CGI?

So far I think it fails for me because my apache-webserver runs PHP as CGI and I have to use #!/usr/bin/php in the first line. And so (i think) the header-modification will not work because there is already a output to the file.

#!/usr/bin/php 
<?php ob_start();
header("Content-type: text/html"); 
header("Location: [url]http://server/goto.php[/url]");
?>

The output: https://cgi.tfh-berlin.de/~s19436/loc.php

headers:

Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 20:22:06 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Linux/SuSE) mod_perl/1.27 mod_ssl/2.8.10 OpenSSL/0.9.6g
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html

content:

Content-type: text/html Location: [url]http://server/goto.php[/url]

Any idears on this?

thx

You sure you need the #!shebang path? If I recall rightly, that's for shell script execution, when you're at the command line and just type the script's name - it's there to tell the shell which program to run the script on. Apache already knows PHP is for running PHP scripts, because that's how you configured it.

(PS: You shouldn't need the Content-Type: header either. (a) Content-Type:text/html is added automatically if none other is specified by the PHP in both CGI and module installs, (b) There's no content in your response to have a type.)
