[PHP] Re: Tried to run PHP as shell script and got the error...
Oh, forgot to add the ! to the #/usr/local/bin/php.. Since it's my first time in shell scripting with php so I wasn't thinking correctly...

I may be completely wrong, wouldn't be the first time :-) Hoop it will work. Kind Regards, BlackDex Scott Fletcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi!
