Try to put this at top.

so change the # for a !, becous thas is what is used to execute scripts etc.. :).
not quite right: the shebang line requires both those chars :-)....

<quote> "#!" used in Unix to mark the start of a script,</quote>
I believe the '#' sign is used as the fist char for the simple practical
reason that the '#' signifies the start of a comment in just about every
scripting language out there - which means the shebang line doesn't f***
with the working of the subsequent script regardless. I may be completely
wrong, wouldn't be the first time :-)
Hoop it will work.
Kind Regards,

Hi! I'm trying to run PHP as a shell script but I got the error message...
Source code below is ...
--snip--
#/usr/local/bin/php
<?
echo "Hello World!!\n";
?>
--snip--
Attempt to run the file below and got the error
--snip--
-=[/usr/local/bin]==>./ecbi_inquiry_pull_experian.sh
Hello World!!\n
./ecbi_inquiry_pull_experian.sh: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token
`?>'
./ecbi_inquiry_pull_experian.sh: line 4: `?>'
--snip--
I checked to see if there's no spaces at the end on line 4 and there
isn't... So, how do I get it working so I can hook up the file to the
crontab.
Thanks,
FletchSOD
