Re: Running scripts from within PHP similar to SSI

If you are running PHP as a Module (you should be) try the http://php.net/virtual function. If not, you can use exec(), but pass any vars the thing needs: # Your CGI may be expecting command-line args or flags or... # I presumed it was URL-style input. exec("./cgi-bin/txtcounter.cgi?foo=$foo&bar=$bar", $results, $error); while(list(,$line) = each($results)){ echo $line, "<BR>\n"; } if ($error){ echo "txtcounter.cgi returned OS error $error. Usually paths/permissions.<BR>\n"; } -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
