Passing values fro perl to php

[Anon]

Greetings,

In the slim hope that there really are no stupid questions, can anyone tell me if and how I can pass a recognizable value from a perl script back to a php page that called the script via system()

Thanks for any help on this.

system() is for calling an external program whose output
you want to go directly to the client's browser.

If you want to capture the ouput in your php script,
use backticks instead, e.g.

$result = ls -l *.jpg;

Thanks again Kirk.

I should be sending you consulting fees! As it is, I'll send along my gratitude.

Well, back at it.
