Good day, The php file can have whichever extension that you want, provided that the webserver understands which application is associated with which extension.
If you want to run a PHP script as a CGI or without the webserver , just install the PHP standalone executable. This is done by default with many RPM packages, and can easily be done with a tarball. To run the script, just put: #!/usr/local/bin/php (or whatever location it's installed into) as the first line of your php script. Your CGI program can run this program like any other shell command and get the results. Also, if the extension is .cgi , your web server should understand that it's a cgi program and exec it appropriately. ============================ Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948 -----Original Message----- From: hugh danaher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 1:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP and CGI That I know, the file with the php code needs to have the extension of .php I absolutely don't know anything about CGI, but could you somehow "include" a .php file in your script? ----- Original Message ----- From: "SpyProductions Support Team" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "hugh danaher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "php" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 12:07 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP and CGI > > No, it is in a CGI script. > > And I can't recompile PHP for cgi extensions. :( > > -Mike > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: hugh danaher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:43 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php > > Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP and CGI > > > > > > is your file extension .php? > > hugh > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "SpyProductions Support Team" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 11:25 AM > > Subject: [PHP] PHP and CGI > > > > > > > > > > I did some research in the archives on this, but couldn't come up with a > > > straight answer. > > > > > > I have a CGI script that uses and HTML template/form.
