Using PHP to execute Perl Script

[mattee]

I have a perl script that once run (command line), initializes itself and then waits for input.

Once input is given via the command line, it outputs the result also to the command line of course.

What I'd like to do via PHP is start the perl script and then use popen or fopen or something to input data and grab the output.

I've seen some examples and searched around but I'm a bit new to doing this, so some direction would really help.

Please let me know if more info is req'd.

Thanks!
This is an awesome list BTW!

Use exec.
Read the entry on exec at php.net.
If you have more questions let me know. It's not hard, just look at the entry carefully.
