Re: [PHP] bad interpreter error from CLI
Note the ^M --- then use dos2unix from the command line on the Linux box to fix the line endings on that file. The ^M character is a sure-fire sign of a Windows-saved file. Already tried that but I still get the same error (without the ^M of course) so I think it's not the line termination. the php binary is indeed in this location and when I run the same script like this: php -f test.php it works properly.
