RE: [PHP] configuration problem?

2002-04-04 Thread Boris Wong

sorry for the confusing response and yes, the cgi script is written in perl,
and i'm still looking for ways to execute this script from php.

everything works okay until the cgi script uses a package.

hope this helps making my question clearer.

I'm more confused now than ever.  Originally you wanted to execute a
.CGI script (presumably a PERL script) from inside a PHP script.  Now it
looks like you want to do just the opposite.  If that's the case then
you would be better served by posting your question in a PERL email
list.

thanks for the response.

i have no problem executing a simple perl script using passthru() or
system(), but looks like i can't use a package in that perl script.

for example, i have a perl script like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use lib qw(/dept/tools/lib);
#use myPackage;
print "hello world\n";



but when i uncomment the 'use myPackage' nothing shows up.

please help.

I believe include() will only work if the CGI script is written in PHP.
You should be able to extract the results of a foreign script by running
passthru() or system().

For example if I wanted to print out a listing of all the files in a
directory.



You can use the optional input to pass a CGI script some variables.  I
don't use the command line very often so I don't know the proper system
command to execute a script.  I imagine it's 'run' or 'execute' or
something like that.  But I'm sure it's possible.

btw, the reason i want to use include() is that i have a cgi script
under
the same directory structure but i don't want to use exec() since this
command can't execute the cgi well enough (for one thing, the cgi script
doesn't work well when i include "use warnings;" or create an
object)

and including the cgi script won't execute it so this won't work.

i'm thinking of including the cgi script via http like:

include ('http://www.myurl.com/hello.cgi')

but the browser keeps on loading the page and returns a blank page
eventually.

contrastly, including a cgi script from other domains works just fine.

hi,

got a question on the usage of include:

when i do something like this:

http://www.myurl.com'); ?>

where my php file is located under the same directory structure of
www.my.url.com, the browse seems keep on loading until it returns a
blank
page. does this mean that php can't include any file located in the same
directory structure of itself? or is it more like a configuration
problem?

here's my configure command from phpinfo(), if this helps:

'./configure'

'--with-apache=/workplace/dpd/btp/apache_1.3.20' '--enable-bcmath'

Have you tried using virtual() ?

virtual() is an Apache-specific function which is equivalent to  in mod_include. It performs an Apache sub-request. It is
useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything else that you
would parse through Apache. Note that for a CGI script, the script must
generate valid CGI headers.
