I've been struggling with the same idea.
I haven't been able to process the returned value, but I've the
following methods to DISPLAY the cgi results. Although, the PHP has no
way of knowing wether the CGI evaluated to a Yes or No result.
If you solve this, then please let me know.
$server =
"http://www.mydomain_name.com/my_cgi_file.cgi?var1=valueOne&var2=valueTWO";
//var1 and var2 are the parameters that you are passing to the CGI
for processing.
//your cgi would process these variables, then 1) print out the
result 2) return the desired variable...like, return ($var1,
$var2).
//open remote site
$fp = fopen($server, "r");
fpassthrough($fp);
//this will display whatever the remote CGI sends to STDOUT
//however, it will not process anything that is returned.
That is, the PHP doesn't know wether the CGI evaluated to GOOD or BAD.
That's as far as I've been able to get, I hope it helps.
If you do find a better solution, then please send me a copy.
I would appreciate it.
