Running a script is STILL A PROBLEM!

[Anon]

Hello,

I hope that some of you can finally help me. I want to run a tiny script (written in Perl) from PHP when the user presses the Submit button on an HTML-page. What the script does is absolutely independent of other things. I would like to pass the values of some variables as parameters, but it doesn't even run if I try it with constants.

I tried the following things:

exec("location/of/the/script/name.of.the script -parameter") ;

also

passthru(the same as above) ;

Any idea how to make it work properly? Could you please give an example that is working?

Bye,

Akos, Hungary

duno bud. does it require single quotes?

i use
<?php virtual('/plbin/hamweather/hamweather.cgi'); ?>

to run scripts. this would take a variable as well:
<?php virtual("/plbin/hamweather/hamweather.cgi?$extra-parameters"); ?>

good luck
