PHP - Calling .php file from command line produces no output - command-line

I have a simple cmd.php page to run commands I enter using shell_exec () and show the output.
PHP is running as CGI
Entering "php -v" and most commands just show "Content-type: text/html" and then the current page's HTML source.
However, calling PHP with an invalid parameter (/usr/bin/php -z) shows PHPs usage:
Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s] [-v] [-i] [-f ]
php [args...]
etc...
I attached a couple of images to show what I mean.
PHP -v doesn't produce expected output
PHP -z shows PHP's usage
Any ideas?
Edit
cmd.php

$response = shell_exec ( escapeshellcmd ( stripslashes ( $_POST['cmd'] ) ) );

shell_exec() only returns the characters that have been written to the stdout of the executed process, but not stderr. Try redirecting stderr to stdout so that error messages will be stored in $response.
<?php
define('REDIRECT_STDERR', 1);
if ( isset ( $_POST['submit'] ) ) :
$cmd = escapeshellcmd ( stripslashes ($_POST['cmd']) );
if ( defined('REDIRECT_STDERR') && REDIRECT_STDERR ) :
$cmd .= ' 2>&1';

Please check php.ini used by php from command line. I had same problem (no output from php command line), tried replacing current php.ini with php.ini-production and command line php started to work fine. It appears that some configuration variables were modified in recent php version (upgraded from 5.3.10 to 5.4.3).

You're trying to access a string using an index that is a string.
You are treating $field as an array while it is actually a string. Check your code and what is the $selection[$i]['fields'] output.

codeigniter upload form not working

I've never used code igniter and I'm trying to make a quick admin form that includes an image upload input. My admin form is up and has a route/url that I can reach, but the save function is not working correctly. I'm getting a 404 error when I click my submit button.
I believe the issue is with the line form_open_multipart('dashboard_save/do_upload') in views/admin/Dashboard.php. I don't think the do_upload function is being reached. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
*new detail: I am able to reach my controller with form_open_multipart('dashboard_save') using an index function... but I'm not able to reach any other function such as form_open_multipart('dashboard_save/upload') using an upload function in controller dashboard_save.

You have used two times the form tag. This is why its taking last one and showing error. Remove one FORM tag. Here is your view file code revised
<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body>
<div id="main-wrapper">

No test it. I have removed form open & close tag which you wrote manually, at same time use only form_open_multipart() & form_close() for accomplish same task

wp shortcode breaks get_post_thumbnail

I'm having some trouble with short code's breaking a featured image I have set on my home page in Wordpress (4.0). For some reason, when I paste in my shortcode in the wp-admin > page > edit > content for the home page, suddenly my featured image stops working. It's working until I paste in the shortcode and update the page, but then the image disappears and the_post_thumbnail() returns false. I've also tried get_the_post_thumbnail() without success.
Here's my code excerpt from "front-page.php":
<div class="small-12 medium-6 columns">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-6 columns">
<?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) {the_post_thumbnail();} ?>
</div>
And here's the shortcode function from "functions.php":
// [random_testimonial]
function short_code_get_random_testimonial(){
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'testimonial', 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'orderby' => 'rand' );
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
$random_testimonial = get_the_content();
$author = get_the_title();
$rt = '<p class="quote">' . $random_testimonial;
$rt .= '</p><p class="right">– ' . $author . '</p>';
endwhile;
return $rt;
}
// Register the shortcodes.
add_shortcode( 'random_testimonial', 'short_code_get_random_testimonial' );
// Allow text widgets to contain shortcodes.
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
add_filter('the_content', 'do_shortcode');
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I think I may have solved this one. It seems to have something to do with the fact that I was calling a custom post type with the shortcode, so by the time the_post_thumbnail() was called, the query had changed to refer to the custom post type included in the shortcode ("testimonial") rather than the parent post (in this case the home page). I revised my code as follows to catch the image before the shortcode is called, and all is working again:
<div class="small-12 medium-6 columns">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
// go ahead and get the post image in case [random_testimonial]
// shortcode is used in page content which will break the query.
if (has_post_thumbnail()) {$image = get_the_post_thumbnail();} ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-6 columns">
<?php
// Echo post image from above.
if(isset($image)){echo $image;}
?>
</div>

PHP form submits regardless of required/error handling attempts

newbie here
I am currently attempting to build a simple contact form to learn how best to build one. I've tried to make several fields required (name, email, do you like spam radio button). The required html5 element isn't working for me or I am not implementing it correctly based on what i've read here, on google and other places. Likewise the error/require messages don't display if someone attempts to submit a message. Instead the form goes through on submit even if NO content anywhere has been entered. I built this yesterday and have been working on the errors for about 24 hours now and am hoping to find some help here.
I currently am returning no errors, the form sends all information entered as hoped, but it also sends if NO information is entered and that doesn't seem like the best possible form to me. I've tried to build a function to help the required, but that doesn't seem to be working either.
Again, i'm new so if my mistakes are obvious and silly, please help em to understand them, that would be greatly appreciated.
current example can be found here

$('form').submit(function(){
if ($('input#website').val().length != 0) {
return false;

If you're trying to use HTML5 stuffs then you need the HTML5 doctype. Place this at the start of your output and see what happens:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Also, typo value"Website" should be value="Website"

I got no php errors in log, page is redirected successfully, but no email is sent. When using the_permalink, everything works just fine.
When submitting the form data to a different script, make sure the code for (validating the input and) sending the email is in that very file.
Otherwise, your URL /message-sent might rewrite to a completely different script and the script with the above code isn't involved at all once the submit button gets clicked.
Did that held you? Feel free, to ask, if my wording is incomprehensible or if my description isn't clear to you
Maybe you forgot to put ".php" at the end of your /message-sent?id=xxx file, i.e /message-sent.php?id=xxx?
Another thought: It is always a good idea to filter the user input, because you will receive a lot of spam, put some sort of CAPTCHA validation code and sanitize/validate the whole user input text, i.e. every text, which comes from input fields of your form.
For email:
$email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
For name and comments:
$name = filter_var($_POST['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$comments = filter_var(strip_tags($_POST['comments']), FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
