Re: puzzled?? exec perl script

hello sonia, i tried nearly the same thing some days ago,

Suppose I have a perl script 'hello.pl' --------------------------------------- foreach($i=0; $i<5; $i++) {

        print "hello\n";

} --------------------------------------- In my 'hello.php', i just call the perl script ------------------------------------------------- exec("perl hello.pl", $result_array); for ($i=0; $i< count($result_array); $i++) { echo "$result_array[$i]<br>"; } ------------------------------------------------- I expect to see 5 hellos, but then I only get one, how do I get around with this?? --- Sonia

maybe the solution is, that exec() did return only the last (or the first?) line of the result. if you use system() you will get the whole result. hth peter strzygowski
