If I understood your question properly, you're asking that /htdocs/a.php is one fastcgi app and /htdocs/b.php is another. If you want it this way, then you will have to add the shebang (#!) line to all of your scripts before <?php starts, which is not a viable solution if you have many php scripts which directly interact with the public. I don't use that method, see my config below. .php is processed without any shebang stuff.
