Re: Calling a program

you can include the p7a.php in your script or you can shell_exec(p7a.php) $script_result = shell_exec('p7a.php'); There is a lot of useful information here once you get past the snide comments at the top. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8450696/execute-a-php-script-from-another-php-script On 11/29/2015 11:36 PM, Ethan Rosenberg wrote:

Dear List - Can you not call a PHP script from a form -- action = 'program.php'? In my hands it does not work... I have tried the following include program.php; later in the program ... form . . echo "<input type='hidden' name='next_step' value='step14' />"; . . . . switch ( $_POST['next_step'] ) {

    case 'step14':
    {
        P7a.php();
    }                                }

} //end Switch The result of this is that program.php runs at the start of the script, and step14 is never called. I am totally confused. If you need more details, please specify. TIA. Ethan
