Hi all, I've been trying to run code starting with #!/usr/bin/php. Im not to knowledgeble with this. I can't figure out how PERL can open it... or is it even perl? Any help?

It is php code.

yep, php. #!/usr/bin/perl is for perl code

Tiago2, the line #! informs the linux shell the interpreter needed to run the code in scripts.
you can find #!/bin/bash, #!/usr/bin/perl, etc etc.
That's why they tell you that code is PHP

Oh see..., is it possible for me to run it in windows not linux?

You can if you use something like XAMPP.

It creates a 'server' environment on your 'doze machine, by installing apache, mysql, php, perl, etc.

It gets the 'server' environment up and running so you can get to coding pretty quick like ...

I have used this in the past ... even created an installation tutorial for it at one time ...

I'm sure there are other solutions as well, but this one I have had first hand experience with.

Hope this helps ....

simply download the php installer from

www.php.net/downloads.php

and go to command prompt and just type in

php c:\blabla\youphpfile.php

Just a quick note.. if you installed one of those apache, mysql, php, perl auto installers auto configurable, check to disable the services autostart or you will be offering a default, unpatched apache server.
