[PHP] php and cgi
hi, i was wondering if anyone knows how i can execute a cgi script (with -rwxrwxrwx mode) written in perl from within php? i tried but the content of the cgi file is displayed instead of executing it. didn't help as well. i also tried calling the url where this cgi is located (which is in the same file structure my php is located), like this: http://www.myurl.org/mycgi.cgi'); ?> but the browse keeps on loading and nothing shows up. thanks in advance. /bw -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] php and cgi
thanks all for the response. i tried various methods but still have no luck.
using virtual:
i got the following warning:
Warning: Unable to include 'myscript.cgi' - request execution failed in
/[dir-path]/index.php on line 71
any more clues?
thanks!

This worked for me:
ALthough I did use absolute paths in the cgi script.

[PHP] configure problem?
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' '--prefix=/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.2c2.1-i686/php-4.0.5' '--with-apache=/workplace/dpd/btp/apache_1.3.20' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-config-file-path=/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.2c2.1-i686/php-4.0.5 /lib' '--enable-exif' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-calendar=shared' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-ftp' '--with-ldap' thank you! /bw -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] configuration problem?
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.

RE: [PHP] configure problem?
sorry, my bad. i meant the two urls are the same. they're intranet pages so giving out real data won't be useful. >Um, does the page at http://www.myurl.com/ by any chance execute that >include statement? Because then you have an infinite recursion. that's not likely the case. i also noticed that the 'Virtual Directory Support' is disabled. thought this could be the root of the problem? /bw -Original Message- From: Miguel Cruz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 10:10 AM To: Boris Wong Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] configure problem?

Um, does the page at http://www.myurl.com/ by any chance execute that include statement? Because then you have an infinite recursion. I of course can't really figure out what you're talking about because you have made up domains like www.myurl.com and www.my.url.com and I don't know whether they're different because you weren't paying attention or because you meant them to be different. Use real data. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] configuration problem?
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.

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.

RE: [PHP] configuration problem?
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.
