I'm using php 5.0.4 on a Windows 2000 server.

When I try the following code :

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "<p>Hello World</p>"; ?>
</body>
</html>

I get the following :

"
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

Hello World
"
Any ideas ? I checked security on the php directory, on the directory where the php file is located ... but nothing helps.

I'll wager you're running PHP as a CGI. If so, you're going to have to produce the minimum HTTP headers in your scripts.

At a minimum, you're going to have to send a "Content-Type: text/html" line.

No, I'm not running php as a CGI, when I do everything works fine, but adding the line to my script helped to get the normal version of php running.

A strange thing though, when I run the phpinfo() function I only get text, when I run it in cgi mode I get a nice version with colors and all.

Correction of my previous post, when I removed the phpinfo() function from my script, I get the same error again !

I just got it working !

As most It people I wanted to run before I could walk ;-)

I entered the php5isapi.dll instead of php.exe in the IIS configuration and now everything works fine !
