passing args to perl script from php

[Anon]

Hi,

I can sucessfully call a perl script with system(), but how do I format arguments to pass with the call? I want it to process form element "name" values.

An example system command would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help.

Command-line arguments will be strings: you don't have any other choice. For example:

system("test.pl $first_arg $second_arg");

where inside test.pl you can access the arguments as $ARGV[0] and $ARGV[1].

Thanks Kirk,

That did the trick! I had the command line formatted incorrectly, but it's running like a champ now.

Hello,

how about the other way round?

Is it possible to do the same by calling a php script from the command line?
I often write PHP scripts to automate certain stuff and those scripts were started from the command line.

Now I need to pass some arguments to a script. Is that possible?
(I'm using php4 on win2k)

Thanks.
