Re: [PHP] Clearing pipe stream and a few other issues.

[Support]

Permissions on a virtual server is the reason for running this script as a
cgi. It's not what prefer to do. However, this is only way php will work
under my user name. Perl would probably be a better alternative but I don't
know perl. If I had control of the apache server this would not be a
problem.

I have the script working, I just need to clear up these issues.

' . $arr['sender_name'];
print_r($arr);

$msg = "Sender's Full Name: $sender_name\n";
$msg .= "Sender's E-Mail: $sender_email\n";
$msg .= "Secret Message? $sender_msg\n\n";
?>



What exactly are you trying to achieve and what problems were you having 
using it as a normal script?



I'm guessing it's some form of a mailing script.

What's wrong with using a regular php script with a mail command:




and then your form posts to this script (change the form action to point 
to this new file)...

[PHP] Clearing pipe stream and a few other issues.

[zedleon]

ok, I'm not sure how to explain this but here goes..

I have a php script being used as a cgi to get around certain permission
issues.
Its not what I wanted but is basically working. Running through the cgi-bin
has been
much more difficult however, for example,

1. I need to clear or reset the stream because on occasion, I am get
variables from a previous submission to the form.
Not sure how to do this.
2. I have having trouble using the header function. Its says that the header
is already been sent.
I can only assume at this point its because of the
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q at the top of the script required for cgi's.
I may be wrong. I may not even need the header.

3. The formatting is coming out in plain text..The html code is not
executing. Here again I believe its a header content issue.

  here is the code:

Thank You, $sender_name
Your secret message has been sent.";
?>

 here is the result:
Thank You, David
Your secret message has been sent.

I am rookie at php, so any insights, workarounds or help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Zed
