i use emacs in c-mode for editing. in 4.3, starting a cli script like so:
#!/usr/bin/php -q /* -*- c -*- */
<?php
told emacs to drop into c-mode automatically when i loaded the file for editing. the '-q' flag didn't actually do anything (in the older cgi versions, it suppressed html output when the script was run) but it caused the commented mode line to be ignored by php.
in 5.2, '-q' has apparently been deprecated. replace it with '--' to achieve the 4.3 invocation-with-emacs-mode-line behavior:
#!/usr/bin/php -- /* -*- c -*- */
<?php
don't go back to your 4.3 system and replace '-q' with '--'; it seems to cause php to hang waiting on STDIN...
