Hello.
I have my .procmailrc file set up to pipe mail to a simple php script I've
written. The only thing the script does at this point is echo back a "hello"
message. However, procmail does not execute the script properly.
Here's my script (/home/webs/site.com/scripts/echo.php):
Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
echo "hi.";
?>
When I execute this script from the shell, it performs as expected. A
message is echoed to the terminal ("hi.") and the script quits.
Here is my .procmailrc:
Code:
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
VERBOSE=YES
:0
| /home/webs/site.com/scripts/echo.php
And here is what is logged by procmail:

It appears that when procmail runs the script, the "#!/usr/local/bin/php"
isn't recognized, so it's being run as if it's a shell script instead of
using the php interpreter. This would explain errors such as "line 2: ?php:
No such file or directory". (If you just run a php script from the command
line without the path to the interpreter, that's exactly the kind of error
you'll get).
I've tried modifying my .procmailrc file like so:
:0
| /usr/local/bin/php /home/webs/site.com/scripts/echo.php
(I removed the path to the interpreter from the script itself when running
as above.) No joy. I'm at my wit's end here.
If the script were being executed properly, I would see the "hi." message
being echoed back in procmail.log instead of the execution errors.
Help?
