After a quick check of the PHP manual [1] we need to know what version of php you have. The CLI was not available until 4.2.0 and until 4.3.0 you had to configure it in with ./configure --enable-cli. I am going out on a limb assuming this is what you are trying to do and not the cgi variant. To make sure you have the option do php -v you should get some out put like this: # php -v PHP 4.3.1 (cli) (built: Mar 27 2003 14:41:51) Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies Also are you sure the path is /usr/bin/php and not /usr/local/bin/php? kb3 [1]http://us2.php.net/features.commandline ------------------------ Yahoo!
