Passing var from PHP to executable CGI

[Anon]

Hi there...

I would like to know if there is a way to pass variables extracted from php from a database then send those variable to a cgi script then output the outcome of the cgi program...

been busting my brain for days with this one...

$rcode[1]="Diamond Ring"
$rcode[2]="DIAM25"
$rcode[3]="25.25"

$ENV{'shopvars'}="mode=add;pcost=$raw[3];pcode=$raw[2];pname=$raw[1]";
$ENV{'shopname'}="domain.com";
$addcart=/home/cart.cgi;

print "$addcart";

that's what I've got to work with from the server admin...

thanks !

Looks like you need to run the /home/cart.cgi program after you have set some environment variables. you should beable to replace the $ENV lines with:

putenv("shopvars=<b>$string</b>");
putenv("shopname=domain.com");

Then you should just run the cgi.

exec ("/home/cart.cgi");
