Can someone explain to me why this script:

#!/usr/local/php5/bin/php

<html>
<head><title>PHP Test</title></head>
<body>
   <p>If nothing follows this paragraph, PHP is not enabled.</p>
   <?php phpinfo() ?>

</body>
</html>

Displays perfectly on a system with PHP installed and running as an Apache 
module - see: http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/php/phptest.php.
Yet displays completely differently when run through PHP compiled as a CGI 
- see:  http://eagles.its.csulb.edu/~jsantana/phptest.php

I've noticed this behavior on all PHP versions since 5.2.3 came out. 
Version 5.2.2 displays correctly when compiled as a CGI as shown here:

Thank you in advance,
