Thanks for that I did change the script to
<?php
$f = fopen( 'php://stdin', 'r' );
while( $line = fgets( $f ) ) {
echo "OK";
}
?>
while testing in command line using :
/usr/bin/php myaclhelper.php
Each time I press enter it returns OK, it keeps running and does not
exit. However in squid log I get :
The MyAclHelper helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!
What I think is wrong is that I need to identify what needs to handle
the script, I.e. how does squid know this is a php script and not a
perl script ?
