Re: Automatically adding #! to all PHP scripts

[Jesse Santana <jsantana@xxxxxxxxx>]

Keith,

That's exactly what my testing has shown
but I was hoping someone out there had found a solution that I hadn't thought
of.  The PHP scripts I am referring to are spread out all over my
/home NFS share.  Most of these scripts belong to different departments
with different webmasters most of which do not like other people touching
their code.  I guess I'll just have to inform them of the shebang
requirement and see what they think.

Thank you for the input.

Jesse

Hi Jesse. It seems that you have a chicken-and-egg
problem 
here. In order for php to process the auto_prepend_file it 
has to be in php mode already. And to get into php cgi mode
you need the #!/path/to/php-cgi at the top of the script.

So I guess each php file *MUST* start with the 
#!/path/to/php-cgi to make the script use the php 
intepreter.

Once the php-cgi script is active, the I guess you can use 
the auto_prepend_file feature in your php.ini file.

Do you have alot of files to add the #!/path/to/php-cgi to?
Are they all under the same sub directory?

All I can suggest is writing another script to parse all 
your php scripts you want to add the #!/path/to/php-cgi to, 
at the start of each of those php scripts.

You might be able to write a bash shell script to do this, 
or even another php script.

You might find this link on advanced BASH scripting usefull:
