php as cgi

[Captain Dondo]

I am trying to use php 4.4.2 as a cgi scripting language. I am running
a self-built linux distribution, with php 4.4.2 compiled from source.
I am using the busybox web server, which doesn't have the ability to
incorporate php as a module.

The problem I am having is that php is insistent about sending

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.2
Content-type: text/html

at the start instead of

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/plain

Any way I can get php to quit doing what it's doing and do what I think
it should be doing?

TIA,

--Yan

Check php.ini. Search for
expose_php = On

> Content-type: text/html[/color]

Look in php.ini
Search for
default_mimetyp e = "text/html"

Yep. :-)
Change php.ini

You can also use ini_set() to overrule php.ini per script basis.

Hhhhmmm... Have you tried to... ?

<?php

header('HTTP/1.0 200 OK');
header('Content-type: text/plain');

?>

Header('Content-type: text/plain');

Unless the script name starts with "nph-", the HTTP/1.0 line is the
responsibility of the web server, not the CGI script. Of course, it's
possible that the busybox web server never does the parsing that it's
supposed to, in which case the 'header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK");' suggestion is
the right one.

The X-Powered-By line doesn't hurt anything. Content-Type does not have to
be first.
