php as cgi

I am trying to use php 4.4.2 as a cgi scripting language. I am running
a self-built linux distribution, with php 4.4.2 compiled from source.
I am using the busybox web server, which doesn't have the ability to
incorporate php as a module.

The problem I am having is that php is insistent about sending

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.2
Content-type: text/html

at the start instead of

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/plain

Any way I can get php to quit doing what it's doing and do what I think
it should be doing?

TIA,
