"bad interperter: Permssion denied"

This will find the php interpreter for you and use it, don't directly link to it.

#!/usr/bin/env php

hi
thanks for your help!
is it

#!/usr/bin/env php

or

#!/usr/bin/env

because the first one doesnt work...

It's #!/usr/bin/env php and if that doesn't work then you didn't install php correctly. If you're using ubuntu or any debian distro it is just sudo apt-get install php5 .

i am using ubuntu
and i've installed it like u said...
and still
nothing...
any idea?

type ls /usr/local/bin and if php isn't in that list then reinstall it.

[severman]

i have nothing on /usr/local/bin
i did sudo apt-get autoremove php5
then sudo apt-get install php5
still nothing...

type php -v on the command line and paste the output here.

[ShawnCplus]

oh, hahaha, did you also do sudo apt-get install php5-cli ?

[severman]

this is when i typed php5 -v
"the program php5 is currently not installed. you can install it by typinh: apt-get install php5-cli"
the same appeaed when i type php -v.
BTW: im using sun virtual machine.
does it have any affect on it??

[severman]

yap :)
i tried what he told me to do... :)

[severman]

ok
i've installed php5-cli
now what?

[ShawnCplus]

ok
i've installed php5-cli
now what?

Now do the same thing, type php -v and paste the output here. If it says something like

PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: sometime)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine blah blah

Then you have it installed correctly and try what I said in my first post to get your script working on the command line

[severman]

now its working!
thanks alot!

You need to install the command line utilities for PHP: sudo apt-get install php5-cli
