RE: [PHP] run perl script with php

Tassos, just what are you trying to do? if you're trying to run a perl app from a commandline php function, that's one thing. if you're trying to create a php/web based app, and you want to run an existing perl app that's sitting on your server, that's another. either way, it's possible/reasonably easy to run the perl app from within php via what are called shell commands (exec/system/passthru). however, you need to be aware of the process prviliege/permissions issues with regards to the process that apache runs as, and the permissions/ownership of the targeted perl app, as well as any file i/o that may occur within the perl app... people who tell you that it can't be done, don't have a deep knowledge of what's possible... welcome to email lists.. where you might get what you pay for!!! -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Tassos T [mailto:nereus0@freemail.gr] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 2:43 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] run perl script with php hello, i faced a small problem i have a perl script but i want to execute that in a php script. unfortunately i cannot convert to php. please advice. regards Tassos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
