Are you labouring under the misapprehension that bash has something to
do with the interpretation of the #! line, or were you just figuring
that Marek would answer that question?

It's entirely likely that you're right, my mind has turned to mush, but 
if I recall correctly sh is a link that points to bash.  Maybe that's 
yet-another-install-issue, if I'm lucky and haven't melted my brain 
thinking about how to make applications and data completely independent 
from the hosting OS (and yes, it *can* be done).

On most Debian based systems like Mint, Ubuntu, MX and SolydX,
sh points to dash.

On a lot of Linux distro's, yes, but it could be dash (Debian Almquist
SHell) or any other shell replacing the Bourne one too.
On real Unix (like Solaris, HP-UX, AIX) it nowadays probably will be the
Posix (standard) shell (an extension/update of the Bourne one).
In Linux there exists the posh (Policy-compliant Ordinary SHell) one.

There are more "UNIX" shells out there than you can shake a stick at, if
that's your idea of a good time.

You (and apparently the people who followed up) missed the point.

Are you thinking that some shell interprets the #! line?  I don't
think so.  See the execve man page and read the first 5 lines of the
description and then the "Interpreter scripts" section.
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/execve.2.html

In short, when some program (which could be your shell, but could be
some other program) asks the OS to execute a program P, the OS (not your
shell, not /bin/sh, not bash, ...) looks at the executable file and if
it starts with #! the OS (attempts to) execute the file (immediately)
following the #!, with any args given on the #! line, and then the
name of the file containing P.

Cheers.

"The point" is that the filespec provided in the shebang has to be an 
absolute filespec.  It can't begin with a period, for example,
   "#! ./myInterpreter" 
because that's rejected as invalid.

What makes that a big deal is that if you want to put a script plus its 
interpreter together on a device that is likely to be mounted as 
"/media/whatever/" you have no way to do that without knowing the value 
of "whatever".  There is apparently no syntax that lets you reference 
the root of the volume a file is on.  

If I've still missed the point, please clue me in.  I'd really like to 
get this working without having to make [further] modifications to the 
PHP interpreter.

My bad.  Without going into the details of how I drew the wrong 
conclusion, it's pretty clearly dependent on the current working 
directory.  I gotta go see how this works out...

You can, as I showed an example of with bash. 

Try this:

$ ln -s $(which bash)

That will make a symbolic link to bash in your home directory. Check to
make sure...

$ ls -l ~/bash

Once confirmed, use this example:

#!/usr/bin/env ./bash

Now you have a relative shebang. Or you can just make it 'bash' and the
first bash you have a path to is used.

That was your point.

Another point (mine) was that your assumption that the shell has
something to do with the interpretation of the #! line was wrong.

> It can't begin with a period, for example, "#! ./myInterpreter"
> because that's rejected as invalid.
As others have mentioned, that is not true.  Perhaps you are
misinterpreting what "." means.  It means "the directory you are
currently cd'ed to", not "the directory which some file with a
pathname starting with '.' lives in".

So if in my current directory I have a file "try-aaa" that starts with
        #! ./aaa
and, if in that very same directory, I have an executable program
called aaa, then I can successfully run
        try-aaa
But if I cd (say) up one level
        cd
and then try to execute
        that-sub-dir/try-aaa
it won't work, since (from where I am right now) there is no such file
as "./aaa".

Tell me, after you mount your device at
        /media/whatever/
how do you plan on executing your script?
Do you want to say (from wherever you are right now)
        /media/whatever/my-script
?

I'll probably be running some file-manager or other and want to double-
click on it.  After learning some more about how this works, I'm busily 
pondering the mechanisms available and the desired goal to see how best 
to make them meet up.

When my daughters were young and in school we had only the one
computer.  We each had our own user and switched between them all the
time, at least 4 or 5 times an evening depending on who neede4d it.
Those users still exist on my current machine and sometimes when they
are over they still use them.  

Multi-user is not dead and still has uses for families with only one
box.

That's the sensible, traditional approach.

The only reason we need different userids, and all the authorization and 
locking complexity inherent in a multi-user system (two or more users 
logged on at once), is to keep people from trashing each other's files, 
or from trashing system files.

If each user has a USB stick that contains all of his data and 
applications, and that "volume" is sandboxed from the "system", things 
become a great deal simpler.

Imagine a setup where everything you need is on a USB stick, all your 
personal data and all the applications you've collected, modified, or 
built from scratch are on it.  Insert it in your friend's USB port, and 
it's just like being at home, even if your friend is running Windows or 
Mac-OS or whatever else he may prefer.

What it amounts to is basically a different kind of "Desktop 
Environment" that isn't locked into any linux distro, or even locked 
into linux.

Well I guess MS Windows is in your future, because that concept is where 
MS is heading. Only instead of a USB stick, ol's MS will hold your data 
in their cloud and you will log into your subscription of MS Desktop, 
independent of the hardware. Win-win for MS: guaranteed revenue stream 
and they got your data as leverage.

No thanks! I am just fine with the "complexity" of a multiuser OS and 
guardianship of my own data.

Sounds like what Scott McNealy was doing with the JavaDesktop on Sun a
ways back. Not exactly sure what it was called so perhaps someone else
might remember. Scott did a demo of it so there might be a video on
YouTube of it. 

Basically he had an ID card he would plug into a Sun system and it would
log that user in. They'd have their desktop, their apps, etc. 

Microsoft also has the whole concept of roaming profiles. And of course
there is the terminal server. 

I don't see this being all that different from our own Home
directories. Each user gets their own home dir and change change their
background, etc. The difference is we're doing all this on the local
machine. You're not carrying it around with you on the USB drive, but
I'd imagine that could be modified to work with your own USB drive
perhaps with automount and a little path trickery to get it on your USB.
You could plug in the USB drive, login and then the act of logging it
would have set your home to the USB drive. You logout, and then
disconnect the USB drive. Don't know if that makes sense. 

Today though the USB drives are getting so large, like 128 GBs is enough
to just hold an entire Linux system and you'd just plug that into a PC
and boot off it. 

Wish I could find the Scott McNealy demo. He had it right a long time
ago. I liked Sun. They did a lot of good things. Sorry to see them in
the hands of Oracle.
