Greetings:

I'm using run-tests.php under PHP 4.3.4 to test out stuff for PEAR::DB.  
Unfortunately, all the tests fail due to the HTTP headers getting inserted
at the top of each file.

run-tests.php and the tests directory are pulled from PHP 4 source a few 
minutes ago.

Here's the commands I used, using a Cygwin shell on Windows 2000.

   TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=c:/progra~1/php/php.exe

   php c:/progra~1/php/run-tests.php 
      d:/webroot/ideasphp/pear/dbtests/driver/.

I also tried using "php -q ..." as well as the CLI version of PHP to no 
avail.

My final attempt to hack this was to change line 614 of run-tests.php from
   $output = `$extra $php $info_params -f $tmp_skipif`;
to
   $output = `$extra $php -q $info_params -f $tmp_skipif`;

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks,

--Dan

Hi:

As some folks suggested off list, setting TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE to the CLI 
helped.  I had already tried it, but that was only part of the probem.
Here are the other pieces.

I had to be logged on as a user with administrative priveleges because the 
php executable dir and the files in it aren't writable by regular users.

Also, it was necessary to use complete paths for everything.

Thanks!
