I think you are falling prey to a PHP bug.
You should be able to find it in:
http://bugs.php.net
You could also check the ChangeLogs:
http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php
http://php.net/ChangeLog-4.php
I could be wrong, as my memory is rather vague on this one, and it's
always possible that you have similar/same symptoms with an entirely
different issue.

that is a horrible method.
it works in zeus and apache, but not lighttpd, from my experience.
it's just not a good idea. technically that should only be file paths,
and i would expect it to load a file named "x.cgi?want=ssilinks"
although fopen wrappers can confuse that further...
in my opinion i would say "redesign it properly."

provide more details. like what is the .cgi? perl? or is it PHP as
well for some reason?

i gave you an opinion and my personal experience trying to support the
same method you're attempting here. i did not only reply to say "don't
do it"
i assume the .cgi is in perl, and you're trying to call this in PHP?
if it is all PHP, you can define a variable and just call the include
without having to deal with a query string. probably not the case.
if not, then pre-generate the navigation items in a flatfile and call
that in using include(). otherwise you can waste a web request each
time back to your webserver to execute the CGI with the proper
environment and parameters.
i could give a rip about capitalization here, and the grammar being
used is good enough to be understood. either way, you'll skip past the
meat of the message anyway and look for other things to reply about.

In order to fire the CGI and have it processed, you would need to do:
$html = file_get_contents("http://.../x.cgi?want=ssilinks";);
This will require php.ini to have allow_url_fopen set to "on" which
has some serious security considerations to ponder before you go
changing it...

The cgi script IS perl. Oh, RE: the sentence below it: I'm running
apache, and it DOESN'T work. The reason I am trying to call it in php
is to include it on a webpage. So, tell me, how am I supposed to
pre-generate the contents in a flatfile (whatever that is)? Or if I
can't do that, then what I am supposed to do?

1) lynx -dump http://blah.com/x.cgi?getssi >file.htm every so often,
or some other method to request the cgi and dump the output
2) include("http://blah.com/x.cgi?getssi";) requires fopen wrappers on
includes and is a poor security measure (would not really recommend
this)
3) use curl functions to grab it in PHP and display (still will
technically issue an HTTP request) - probably the best method, if you
have to.
CGI scripts are not designed to be executed on the command line using
parameters like GET. which is why it's poorly supported. i do have it
working under zeus and i have had it working in the past under apache,
but it might have been due to a specific configuration method (it also
was not CGI, but an SSI call to a php script with GET parameters...
same idea, but different SAPI, which could be why it doesn't work for
you anyway)

Hi!
I have a cgi script that returns a particular value when I call it as
x.cgi?want=ssilinks. I need to call it like that, but whenever I put
the GET parameter into the include path, I get a warning saying that the
file could not be found. Any help?
Thanks,

I would look into calling it from exec() or system(). That might work
better.
Or, I would look into calling it with cURL. This way you call it like
you would in your browser. That will work the best.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't understand you. PHP is not my mother
tongue :P Could you please give me examples? It seems I forgot to
mention that that is an include.

*IF* the line you are looking for is almost always in the early rows,
and *IF* you only need the first match,
you can use the above and put a "break;" inside the if { }
This will let the script end as soon as it finds the answer.
You do have another $data = fgetcsv($demoID); inside the while loop,
right?
Otherwise you are looking at the same first line over and over and
over and over and over until PHP gives up on you.

It's actually not simple at all, since you are trying to scan through
a large file (it must be large to take a long time) and find only one
chunk at the beginning of a row.
There are several other techniques to consider:
#1.
Put the data into an SQL database before you try to search for
specific field/value information.
SQL was designed to make this stuff fast.
CSV was designed to dump files out to pass between
spreadsheets/databases.
#2.
*IF* the file isn't TOO large compared to your available RAM, you
could load the whole thing with "file_get_contents" and then do some
preg magic to find the line you want:
$file = file_get_contents("/full/path/to/file");
preg_match("/^$wolfID,.*\$/ms", $file, $match);
var_dump($match);
//use preg_match_all to find ALL the lines that match
#3.
*IF* the file is too large, and *IF* the CSV parsing is the slow part
(which I doubt) it's possible that a simple fgets() and simple check
sch as:
if (substr($line, 0, strlen($wolfID)) == $wolfID)
would be faster...
Actually, pull the strlen($wolfID) out of the loop into a variable,
and maybe use strpos instead of substr instead and...
The biggest time sink is probably reading the file line by line,
though, not the actual processing which is pretty minimal... In which
case this solution will probably not significantly beat your current
time.

6500 rows is chump-change.
You probably don't have the fgetcsv inside the while loop to get past
the first row... :-)

You are so right, takes all of 0.122 s to process the whole file with
the fgetcsv inside the while loop.... Guess I need to look up why this
was the problem.

Bastien,
Thank you for answering, but the issue is that the PHP SOAPClient
classes actually create that xml to send, so I have no control over the
xml that is sent with a call command to the SOAP object...
I just wondered if there was any flags that I am missing that might
bring the php stuff in line with what the server expects.
I want to use PHP's built in classes for this so I don't have to
manually send xml to the api...
Thanks,
Tim.

writing the xml by hand would be madness...
i didnt want to spend all night screwing around w/ it, since i dont have
any credentials to test w/, but if you look on the auth.net website you
will see they have a robust api in several languages, including php,
that happens to use the SoapClient class from php5.
there is a nice manual,
http://www.authorize.net/support/CIM_SOAP_guide.pdf
in it i found the service call you have mentioned in your initial post,
at that point in the document is a link to sample code
http://developer.authorize.net/dscode/php_cim.zip
which should have everything you need to interact w/ the auth.net
services in php (at a cursory glance).

will see they have a robust api in several languages, including php,
that happens to use the SoapClient class from php5.
there is a nice manual,
http://www.authorize.net/support/CIM_SOAP_guide.pdf
in it i found the service call you have mentioned in your initial post,
at that point in the document is a link to sample code
http://developer.authorize.net/dscode/php_cim.zip
which should have everything you need to interact w/ the auth.net
services in php (at a cursory glance).

Hey Nathan,
Thanks...that's actually really funny, because they must have put the
PHP sample code for the CIM method in there within the last week,
because that was why I was writing my own SOAP stuff to interact with
them (using those manuals)...
The issue that I ended up running in to was that the SOAP calls I was
making were getting errors back, and I couldn't get anyone from
authorize.net to give me any support for what the issue was...
Hopefully, their PHP class will do the trick...
Thanks,
Tim.

How can I display the returned HTML contents of a cgi (Perl) script,

Oh, this means that
1: It mustn't count as a http hit,
and 2: I need to only get what is between the <body> tags.
Thanks in advance.

now you're just asking the list to code something for you...
my suggestions again:
look into rewriting it to be more reusable
look at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.tidy-get-body.php
it's CGI, it can be executed using perl on the shell, sometimes -
depends on what it actually does. however it may count as a "hit"
either way. CGI must be executed to work, just depends on if it's
going to be executed via the web (definately a hit) or the shell
(maybe/maybe not depending on what the script does)
--- End Message ---

OK, what I meant was
1) Not dump the contents to a file, as the cgi will dynamically show
different links every time, (it's a reciprocal linking script)
2) Not count as though the user manually navigated to that page (for my
sanity when checking the site statistics!)
and
3) I also need to know how to run a expression-ish thing so that when I
'parse' the text, it returns all text between x and y, but parse it
BEFORE it gets 'included'.
Note: fOpen is NOT enabled, and I CAN'T enable it.
Thanks in advance
P.S. Sorry mike for my previous ungracious answer.

what language are you comfortable in?
obviously perl is supported on your server.
i would recommend if you know perl, to stick with what you know and
integrate it together.
otherwise it sounds like you've got a handful of requirements (and
scope creep), no clue where to start, and no PHP knowledge to boot.
this is where i think you decide to just "pay someone to do it quick"
:)
1) rentacoder.com
2) phparch.com forums i think has a jobs area
anyway, expression stuff can be done using php.net/preg, php.net/ereg
and if possible, just normal str* functions. first you need to get the
content though and if you can't get that, i'm not sure that's going to
help any more ...
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
My non-profit setup makes that 'Pay Someone' alternative. What I am
planning on doing:
When the script is called, it is equivilent of using the want=ssilinks
GET parameter.
So therefore, all I need to do is get the HTML returned from the script,
not the contents of the script itself. Can anyone help now?
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
you're still issuing an HTTP request to get it, or executing perl on
the command line...
if it's a true non-profit 503(c)(3), you could offer someone the
chance to write off their services... non-profits may not have a lot
of money to spare but they do typically have money to fund things in
the organization's interests... hopefully.

Well, heh, I am really the only person behind my organization, and I'm
under 18, so I can't get a PayPal account or whatever and accumulate
donations either.
However, I did find a cURL solution: this is the code behind it for
anyone else who had/has this problem:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,
CURLOPT_URL,"http://goldenlightsoft.org/cgi-bin/lt/linktrade.cgi?want=ssilinks";);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
echo $result
?>
Now, I just need to look into parsing the text.
Thanks everyone for your assistance, I'll be sure to come back here and
frustrate you with any future problems I have. :] :P

yeah - well you said you can't issue an http request
although it depends - if your reporting is
javascript/browser-executable, or if it's a server-side increment. if
it's javascript, no worries, the curl request won't execute it.

That's fine, and it's for that reason this list exists, but here's
a couple of pointers:
1.) Keep the attitude and sarcasm to a minimum (or follow it by a
smiley face so it looks like you're not that rude).
2.) Keep ALL RELATED POSTS in one thread. It was a little
overboard to have to follow your conversation across five separate
threads, and that doesn't help people searching on Google (or directly
in the archives) use your experience to solve a similar problem.
Aside from that, parsing the text should be no problem. Depending
on what you want to do, regexps are probably the way you want to do
it, just as a heads-up. For that, look into the preg_*() and ereg()
families.

read the archives of the php internals or all posts pertaining to closures,
that will answer all your questions.
