[Users] exec_dset syntax error

[Norman Brandinger]

Here's another suggestion.  Note that I have not used exec_dset() to try 
to execute PHP. 

Place a call to the php interpreter on the first line of your PHP file 
as noted below.  If it works for you great, if not, someone else might 
need to assist.

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
  echo "Hello, World!\n";
?>

Regards,
Norm
