calling perl

[Anon]

I'm a bit new to this game, and hoping someone can help. I have the following from SSI, and need the php equivalent. Any ideas?
<!--#exec cgi="/btccpages/cgi-bin/axs/ax.pl" -->

you could probably just include that same line in your php script in the appropriate place...that's assuming your server doesn't require a .shtml extension to perform an SSI.

The problem I'm having is exactly that! The server won't let me do the SSI from from a .php file.

$f = fopen("http://127.0.0.1/btccpages/cgi-bin/axs/ax.pl");
fclose($f);

from the manual. you should try it some time.

read the explanation, then the comments...there a quite a few comments that discuss executing perl from php.

if exec() doesn't work for you, passthru() should.....but that's all discussed in the manual as well.

fopen() will most likely just spit your perl code out to the browser.

echo /btccpages/cgi-bin/axs/ax.pl;

..should do it for you. Note that ` is a backtick, not a single quote.
