[CLI] HTML output even with -q switch?

[Gilles Ganault]

Hello

I need to write PHP scripts on an AstLinux distribution. Even
though I added the "-q" switch on the shebbang line, PHP still outputs
some HTML:

==========
# cat test.php

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
echo "test";
?>
==========
# ./test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.5
Content-type: text/html

test#
==========

Is there a switch somewhere to tell PHP to actually run scripts
quietly, or is it just the way PHP works when called from mini-httpd?

FWIW, here's phpinfo:

http://pastebin.ca/871766

Thank you.

You're using CGI, not CLI version.
CLI version will NEVER output a HTTP header.
Also try the "php --help" and see if that switch exists at all.

"quiet" mode is NOT supposed to hide output at all.
It is in the best case will hide any PHP engine(!) generated messages, but
YOUR OWN output will be indeed written.

or is it just the way PHP works when called from mini-httpd?

It is just how's it intended to work. If You don't want any output from script
- remove any output-generating commands from script or enclose it in
conditional checks.

Yup, I looked at the configuration script, and this is the CGI
version:

PHP5_BINARY:=sa pi/cgi/php-cgi

Is it possible to compile both the CLI and CGI versions? I don't see
any "--enable-cli" or "--disable-cli" option in the same file.

Thanks.
