'shell ' indicates something you type at a Un*x/MS-DOS shell prompt. Step 1. Confirm that /usr/bin/php is there, and working: shell /usr/bin/php -v Either this outputs PHP's version number, or you don't have PHP installed at /usr/bin/php. Step 2. Make sure your script works, *without* the #!/usr/bin/php -q line in it. shell php -q YOURSCRIPT.php Either this script does what you expect, or the script isn't right. Did you put ?php ? in there? Yes, you need to put ?php ? in there. Step 3. Make sure your PHP shell script is executable: shell chmod 744 YOURSCRIPT.php Change YOURSCRIPT to the name of your script, of course. Step 4. Put the #!/usr/bin/php -q back in there and try it shell ./YOURSCRIPT.php -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Use: #!/usr/bin/php -qC The C flag makes it the working directory for the script the same one as your are in when you invoke it. Also ensure that your PHP binary exists at the specified path. Last but not least you still need the opening PHP tag: ?php Put it right after the first line (the binary specification header).

Not sure if this is what you want, but i know that you can call php from a command line by using. php code_name.php that will print out the http headers, so to supress the headers you can do php -q code_name.php Hope this helps, Chris On Tue, 14 Dec 2004 21:38:18 +, Bruno Santos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all. i'm working with php for about 3 years and i must say: i cant get tired of it !! :-) since my first page, ive used php as a server side language, embebed in html pages. now, i need to develop a small script to run as stand alone. how can i do it ? just like bourn shell, ive used #!/usr/bin/php -q, but it apears is not working ... can someone tell me how to i use php stand alone ? chears !!!
