That didn't work for me. I needed to unescape the < again.

This worked for me like a charm;

mkdir /usr/local/www/cgi

echo "#!/usr/local/bin/php" > /usr/local/www/cgi/dump.php

echo "<?php echo \"<pre>\";" >> /usr/local/www/cgi/dump.php

echo "\$ph = popen( \"/usr/bin/uptime; /sbin/ipfw show\", \"r\" );" >> 
/usr/local/www/cgi/dump.php

echo "while (\$line = fgets( \$ph )) echo \$line; pclose( \$ph );" >> 
/usr/local/www/cgi/dump.php

echo "echo \"</pre>\"; ?>" >> /usr/local/www/cgi/dump.php

chmod 755 /usr/local/www/cgi/dump.php
