Apologies if this is documented here, especially since it seems to be
something commonly done, but I couldn't locate it.
My problem:
We are running PHP 4 on a Solaris 2.7 box with Apache 1.3.11 with mod_perl
1.24.
We need to communicate with 3rd-party Perl APIs from within PHP to handle
processing of a form. The API functions each expect an associated array and
will return a result value to the calling party.
I would assume that we would use exec( 'perl cgi-bin/myscript.pl',
$assoc_array, $return_value) to do this, placing the perl script I write to
handle the values in the server's cgi-bin directory.
If this seems right, I would see the array in the perl script by parsing
out the array, getting the values and sending them to the API functions.
When I get the returned value from the called perl function in the API, I
return it by assigning it to the third parameter in the perl script.
I've worked with perl before, but it's been a while and I am trying to get
back in the perl mind frame and I've never combined it with PHP so I could
be off here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
