Re: bilingual scripts, bash/PHP?

Okay, a bash script has to start with this:

#!/bin/bash

And a PHP script begins suchly:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
// code
?>

The question is, how can one code a script that will run PHP if it's
available and if not fall back to bash?

Possibly easier to do it the other way around (certainly so for me since
I don't speak PHP).

#! /bin/bash
set -e
if type php >/dev/null 2>&1; then
exec php /path/to/php/script

Should be:
exec php /path/to/php/script "$@"
of course, to be fully general.
