Sure I did it.

Not at all, my trial script -php.cgi-, is as simple as:

    #!/usr/bin/php4 -q
    <?php
    echo "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ;
    echo "Ciao\n";
    ?>

note that the following shell script -sh.cgi-, just works:

    #!/bin/sh
    echo Content-type: text/html
    echo

    echo Ciao

The php scripts works from command line, but from inside webmin returns "No
input file specified"

If you take off the "-q" switch in '#!/usr/bin/php4" php4 will issue a
header (X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2 \nContent-type: text/html), the script
executes but the line with '#!...' staff is echoed to the browser...

I think this has really to do with something in the way miniserv.pl deals
with cgi scripts. Since I saw quite a lot of other people asking these
questions on php list, it would be really nice to get an answer from people
that understand how miniserv.pl works.

Thanks in advance. And of course thanks to Jamie for Webmin that makes so
easy to let people administer their boxes...
