    PHP as CGI script in CGI-BIN?

    All:
    I am having problems trying to run some php scripts in cgi. I have Apache 2.0+ and PHP 4.3. Perl works fine
    with CGI and PHP works find as an Apache module. Whenever I attempt to run the php script through a URL with the
    cgi-bin, it asks if I want to open or download the file. Cgi files execute fine though. Can anyone think of anything I
    might be missing in any of the conf files?
    Included is an example of one of my php scripts. Thank you for any advice.

    #!/usr/bin/php -q

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

      The -q flag suppresses the Content-type header, IIRC. You don't want to
      suppress this, you want to let PHP send it unless you are specifying one
      yourself with header().

      Also, make sure the PHP you're referring to is the CGI version of PHP - as
      there is a separate command-line version as well (the "CLI" SAPI). Having not
      had much experience running as CGI (I always use the webserver module version)
      I can't say for sure if these two are fundamentally different, but they
      certainly appear to be built separately at least in PHP 5.

      What does "php -v" say?

          Andy:
          I found what the problem was. I was using the php module rather than
          the php-cgi module. Thanks!
