executing a perl/cgi script inside a php script

[Anon]

Hi:

I'm trying to execute a perl/cgi script inside a php script. I'm using the "virtual" function. Here's an example:

<?php virtual("viewnews.cgi?newsid966218511,48844,");?>

It works almost fine: at the bottom of the php page i get a message like this:

"HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 03:48:47 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/4.0.0 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.0 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html 0 "

How can i prevent the php script from displaying that message?

Thanks !

Well that text doesn't appear to be a direct result of the virtual() function itself. I tried a similar script out on my machine and didn't see any of these headers, so my best guess is that it must be something either in your servers configuration or maybe the in the cgi script itself.

vitual() unfortunatly doesn't allow itself to be captured so you can't just simply parse out the string which would be ideal.
