Re: [squid-users] access-lists from mysql ?

Thanks for that I did change the script to

<?php
$f = fopen( 'php://stdin', 'r' );

while( $line = fgets( $f ) ) {
  echo "OK";
}

?>

while testing in command line using :

 /usr/bin/php myaclhelper.php

Each time I press enter it returns OK, it keeps running and does not
exit. However in squid log I get :

 The MyAclHelper helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!

What I think is wrong is that I need to identify what needs to handle
the script, I.e. how does squid know this is a php script and not a
perl script ?

Regards
