hi nir,

first of all, please send questions like this to the address listed in
the Maintainer: field of the php packages, as this will give you a
larger audience for your troubles (i've cc'd this address, please send
followups there)

secondly, this is on feisty so my ability to help you is somewhat
limited to the fact that i maintain the debian packages, but they're
probably close enough that what helps you will work in both distros.

my first thought: does anything change by putting a #!/usr/bin/php5-cgi
shebang at the top of the file?  this could be wrong advice--i'm not
very familiar with running cgi based php.

what about "php5-cgi phpinfo.php" ?  they're two seperate cmdline
programs so they might behave differently.

othewrise, you should try disabling any installed extensions and see if
that helps.  otherwise, i'm not sure :)
