RE: [PHP] Parsing PHP output

The problem is that you are sending this output to the browser and not the server. You can do this with XML because IE and Netscape have XML parsers built-in. You should create a form that will catch the data from CGI then handle it on the server. There might be other work arounds as well...however, I have only played with the XML stuff...

Whatever I do, my browser ALWAYS wants to open or save the non-parsed PHP text produced by the CGI file. And yes, I have set the proper ExecCGI and PHP entries in my vhosts.conf; and yes, I restarted the server. Basically, I open an existing php file (in a Perl CGI), and output its contents again to the Apache server. The CGI starts with sending this header: print "Content-type: application/x-httpd-php\n\n"; Then I output the text. But, no matter what I do, it will not parse the PHP code. I do not understand this. Regular PHP files in that dir work fine. There is, as far as I can see, no reason why this should not work. And the PHP file really needs to be generated from the CGI, as it needs to run as a specific user. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated, - Mark -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
