Hi For some reasons I need to execute a Perl-CGI from within PHP. I tried it that way: $command = "C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe ".$basedir."myperl.pl"; $result = @passthru($command, $status);
now my Problem: the perl prints its output immidiatly to the browser and $result is empty after the execution of the perl-script. I needed the output in $result and don't want that the perl script prints to the browser... The whole thing is running on a win2k Server machine. Does someone know what I'm doing wrong? By the way: which number in $status means what? regards Stefan Rusterholz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------- interaktion gmbh Stefan Rusterholz Zürichbergstrasse 17 8032 Zürich ---------------------------------- T. +41 1 253 19 55 F. +41 1 253 19 56 W3 www.interaktion.ch ----------------------------------
