[PHP] Post processing Perl output through PHP
Hi all, I am having a knightmare trying to get some PHP into the output of a Perl script. PHP. I've heard rumours of Apache 2.0 allowing multiple filters, which would be perfect when it's out, but not yet obviously. I've tried calling the CGI PHP from inside Perl in a few ways: == #!/usr/bin/perl $result = `/usr/bin/php -q << EOF EOF `; print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print "PHP output was $result\n"; exit; == I've also tried running this command as a system() call in Perl, and sending the output of /usr/bin/php to a temporary file, then using Perl to open and read the contents of that file. Both methods work if I call the script myself at a shell prompt. In the case of the file creation, an 11 byte file is duly created. However, when I call the perl script from a web browser, I lose the PHP output. The code given above doesn't help narrow it down, but in the case of the file creating version, I notice back at a shell prompt that the call to /usr/bin/php has made a 0 byte file... which obviously explains why I see nothing once Perl copies it to the output. So, that means there is something about /usr/bin/php that is making it generate absolutely no output when called via apache and the perl script. I am guessing that this has to do with the environment variables, as I can see no other way in which /usr/bin/php would be aware of a difference in its environment. So, my question is, does anybody know how to persuade PHP to give me the output when called in this way... perhaps by forging an environment variable from Perl first, or some clever command line switch... Alternatively, and much preferred, some way of parsing the whole of the perl output through PHP before returning to the browser. Then I could just print PHP tags in my Perl output and Apache/mod_php would handle the rest on the way back... For reasons that really aren't worth going into, I need to access some messy PHP functions from Perl, and I can't rewrite the PHP functions in Perl because I have .php pages that need them, and I can't rewrite the Perl scripts in PHP either. If I can't find a way of doing this, I will probably tear all my hair out and then sit down to rewrite a separate copy of every routine in Perl, and have two copies of all the code in two different languages... knightmare come true !

[PHP] Installing CGI --disable-force-cgi-redirect
Hi all, I have installed PHP 4 pn Redhat 7.0 using an RPM: php-4.0.4pl1-3.i386.rpm As well as making the apache stuff, it has installed a binary at /usr/bin/php, but the binary has been installed with --enable-force-cgi-redirect. I want this binary but without this option... can somebody please give me some instructions on how to do this... I've looked around for RPMs that contain just /usr/bin/php and use --disable-for... but can't find any... What would I have to do to install this by hand ??? Thanks in advance for any help... really appreciated !

Re: [PHP] Browser Sniffing
On a site I worked with we rely on browser detection in order to send the
correct stylesheet and other bits that make it more compatable on older
browsers. Browser detection is not just used to block unwanted browsers.
