But you said your script was called "test.php", not "test"?
WHat did you actually do? What files did you actually create?

Run "php -v".
What result do you get?
One of the advantages of PHP5 appears to be that you get a more sensible "cli"
version of PHP installed, rather than the "cgi" version that you get in PHP4.
The CGI version of PHP can be persuaded to be similar to the CLI version by
using the "-q" flag, which supresses headers.
"./test.php" should still have output the same thing.
4.2.2 is very, very old, though, so there are many, many unfixed bugs in it.
