Newbie help please

Newbie help please. Something in a config file I need to tweak but can't find it?
Config, input script and browser output given below.

1) Have purchased system of php files all start with <?
in first line. But Apache reports error as follows:
e:/apache/apache/cgi-bin/hello.php is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have "#!" first line
couldn't spawn child process: e:/apache/apache/cgi-bin/hello.php

2) When I change first line to #! php
I get output as shown below, kind of half and half.
php is there but output includes bogus first line

Many thanks in advance.
Going to post this at some forums etc never sure I can
find sites again, please copy answer to URL

php Code:

Original - php Code
* Config Apache 1.3 Windows 98 php 2.02 * Input script: #! php <html> <body> Hello world from HTML<p> <?php echo "Hello World from php<p>"; ?> </body> </html> *** Browser output: #! php Hello world from HTML Hello World from php

 
*** Config
 
Apache 1.3
Windows 98
php 2.02
 
*** Input script:
 
#! php
<html>
<body>
Hello world from HTML<p>
<?php echo "Hello World from php<p>"; ?>

RE: Newbie help please

Well, I'll post my reply here, hopefully you'll come back and check it out. If not, someone else can benefit...

In PHP you don't need to place your scripts in the cgi-bin. Removing this script from the cgi-bin and putting it in your normal htdocs directory without the #! php should solve this problem.....
