bad interpreter error from CLI

Hi gang,
I am trying to run a script from cli which goes like this:

#!/usr/bin/php
passthru("printenv");
?>

The error I get is this:
/usr/bin/php^M: bad interpreter: Permission denied

the php binary is indeed in this location and when I run the same script
like this:
php -f test.php

it works properly. I will have to mention that the executable flag is
set in the file's permissions.

Any ideas why is this happening?

php -v gives me:

Note the ^M --- then use dos2unix from the command line on the
Linux box to fix the line endings on that file. The ^M character is a
sure-fire sign of a Windows-saved file.

The above should no doubt fix it, but in the event that it does
not, check the output from the following command line commands on your
Linux box:

which php
whereis php

The first will tell you which PHP CLI binary is preferred by the
current $PATH settings, while the second will tell you where in $PATH
'php' is located.

Already tried that but I still get the same error (without the ^M of
course) so I think it's not the line termination.

Both commands return the same path.

.... and that path, I'll presume, is the same you have set in the
script, right? Please offer as much information as you can with each
email to speed up the troubleshooting process. ;-P

What's the output you get from the following (copied exactly)?

ls -l /usr/bin/php
ls -l `which php`

Does the filesystem the scripts are on by any chance has 'noexec' set?

$ mount
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

I did mention that it works using php -f didn't I?
So it actually finds the binary because it is in the path :-) .

Thanks for the help.
