enabling php5-cli

[triggemojan]

I ran apt-get to install php5, then i did php5-cli, php5-gd....then i restarted the apache server. The resultant phpinfo is at the bottom of the post. My problem is that cli is disabled and I thought php4.3.0+ had CLI enabled by default. How do I enable? (I'm using dotdeb oldstable btw)

thanks..

IIRC the cli version is just a binary that doesn't send HTTP headers and doesn't print html errors. The HTTP headers is simple to bypass with the -q option. If you don't mind seing html errors in the console, then use the -q option to php in your cli scripts like so:

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
echo "How are you today? ";
$line = rtrim(fgets($STDIN, 1024));
if ($line == "good")
    echo "Glad to hear that.\n";
elseif ($line == "bad")
    echo "I'm sorry to hear that.\n";
?>

i added that to the script. but i don't think it's working still. i run the script by typing the filename, and it doesn't work, nor does pre-ceeding it with 'php <filename>' work.. any ideas?
