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  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)

Re: [PHP] Re: Scratch that

2008-01-09 Thread Liam

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 ...

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?

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.

Configure statistics package to not count your own server hits.

Problem solved.

If no allow_url_fopen, then use curl.

If no allow_url_fopen AND no curl, then find a better host.
