PassThru and blanking first line of outp

[Anon]

hi, i'm trying to emulate the #exec cgi ssi command with:
<?PHP PassThru ("plbin/hamweather/hamweather.cgi") ?>

but i get that first line of:
Content-type: text/html

anyone know an easy way to pull that header out? without editing a bunch of scripts? should i expect many problems trying to do this? (if it seems like i'm stretching for suggestions...)
thanks,
nm

If you use the backtick operator, you can get the entire result in a variable in your script. Delete the first line (ereg_replace() or something similar) and then write the variable to the output.
