Parser errors on Mandrake/Apache 1.3.14/php 4.0.3

[Anon]

After a LONG time, I finally got PHP to work on my server. However, whatever I produce in PHP returns a parser error like the following:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=6) state=1 in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/php on line 66

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/php on line 66

Did something go wrong with the compiling? I had only a very few options specified.

And just what does line 66 of "php" say?

Is the the source that is being refered to a .h, .o, or .c file?

This looks as if binary data is being fed to the PHP parser. As to why that would happen, I have no idea without digging into the details of your Apache setup.

If you are running Apache 1.3.14, which was just released in the last day or so, it sounds as if you have control over your server environment. Why are you running PHP as a CGI process and not as a module?
